OTHER( MULT_CHOICE_VAR )

Returns a Text value

This expression determines whether the user has chosen the Other option of a Multiple Choice variable and, if so, returns the text entered in the Other field. It can also be used to test whether the user has selected the None of the Above option.

For example, a user is given a list of lending agents from which to choose. If the user doesn’t see the correct name on the list, he or she can select Other and specify the correct name. HotDocs then asks for the city in which the lending agent operates, as shown in the following script:

IF Lending Agent = OTHER( Lending Agent )

ASK Lending Agent City

END IF

In this next example, you want to create a list of company representatives. However, if the user doesn't select a company representative, you want the text No representative selected merged.

""

IF OTHER (Company Representative ) = "None of the Above"

"No representative selected"

ELSE FORMAT (Company Representative, "a, b, and c")

END IF
