[Multiple selection task] Remove focus from "other" text field when "other" is deselected

[gino-m]

When "other" option is deselected, either by clicking another radio box (select one) or by deselected the "other" checkbox (select many), focus should be removed from the text box.

We should also ensure that text in the "Other" field is not saved to the db if "Other" isn't selected.

Sure! Just added to the description above.

@gino-m thank you! I feel like it makes sense to only have the other option text field to show up when someone selects other. That way if they choose option a or b the other text field just disappears cc: @vittorino for his thoughts

Hi @gino-m,

Thank you! I just verified that the issue is still occurring. Please find the attached screen recording for reference.

To confirm, the expected functionality is that the text box should only be shown when the "Other" option is selected. If the user selects options A or B, the text box should hide. Is that correct, or should the text box be in a disabled state when the user selects options A or B?

Looking forward to your input to ensure I'm moving in the right direction.

Best,
Surya

Thank you for confirming.

Good question. I think the "Other" behavior should actually be as follows:

• Entering text into the "Other" textbox causes the "Other" option to be automatically selected.
• When selecting a different option, the text is left as-is, but isn't saved in the response.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you for clarifying! I will have a PR up by Wednesday.

Hello Gino,

Sorry for the delayed response. I checked the current implementation, and the behavior seems correct—entering text into the "Other" textbox selects the "Other" option, and the response is not sent if the "Other" option is not selected.

I observed that the keyboard stays up if we select the "Other" option and then select a different option. Should we make the keyboard hide in this case?

Looking forward to your direction 😊

Best,
Surya

Focus from the "other" text should also be removed once any other option is selected.
