Can't Dynamically Add Merge Text to a Multiple Choice Variable

Problem

I'm creating my Multiple Choice variables "on the fly," using the CLEAR and ADD instructions. I know I can ADD options and prompts, but can I ADD Merge Text to the variable?

Solution

Unlike options and prompts, the merge text for a Multiple Choice variable comes from another component—a Merge Text component. This means you cannot create and add merge text to a Multiple Choice variable "on the fly."
