Use a multiple answer multiple choice question with two choices and add "Allow text entry" to the first choice. Add some JavaScript to hide the label of the first choice.

Thanks again!! ``` Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").prevAll("label").hide(); }); ``` Make the N/A choice exclusive.

          Hi Tom,
          thanks for the code. But he is just working for the small text field. If I change the text field size to middle or big it doesn't work.
          Maybe you could tell me how to change the code, so he works for a "middle-sized" text field.
          Thank you for your help!
