How can I have a matrix table question display additional rows based on user interaction?

Hi all! I have a matrix table question for which I would like the user to be able to specify and respond to additional "Other" choices. I'd prefer to only have one row with a blank "Other" text box statement visible at a time. For (a silly) example: Mark how many hours you spend in each room in your house: * Kitchen * Living room * Bathroom * Other (please explain) ________ * Other (please explain) ________ * Other (please explain) ________ etc., where each "Other" option would only appear once the previous "Other" option has been filled in. I tried adding display logic to the additional "Other" statements (to be displayed if the previous "Other" text entry "is not empty"), but the statements don't show up. Is there a way to do this built into Qualtrics (or any other way to achieve this)? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, the display logic will only activate after the question is answered, so you'll need some custom code to accomplish this. Luckily, we have a bunch of great coders on this site who may be able to help (I'm not one of them).
