I have an "Other" option where I allow text entry, but when I tried to map my test responses over to Vocalize, I wasn't able to find a way to select the text entry box in the data mapping. Is there any way to get that data into my dashboard?

Pretty sure this only works if you set an embedded data field to match the data collected in the "other" field and then map the embedded data as a separate variable in Vocalize. And unfortunately, embedded data does not retroactively populate into your data. You will only have "other" data for new responses after setting the embedded data field.

My experience is the same as RondaD.
