SharePoint Drop Down List Other Option
Hi We have a Sharepoint List and have a field set to "Choice" In option we have the 3 drop down options with the last one being "other" We have Allow 'Fill-in' choices tick to YES We ...
Yeah, seems like there's no option to disable that in the Modern List.
One possible workaround could be to have "Other" as an option in your Choice field and disable manual entries. Then, you'd have to create an "Other" field in the list, where you ask for the manual entry. You can tell in the description to fill this field only if the user has picked the "Other" option. It has the downside of being messy and adding a new field to the list, but it may also be easier for you to gather the results later. Let me know if it helps.
