Hi, I hadn't tested adding such values using the various API resources, so thanks for that clarification.
That said - it just dawned on me that our Baganda bandits (Alex & Prosper ;-) ) may have a better solution for one scenario I had in mind: Where users want a mix of pre-specified text options but also have the opportunity to add free text, in order to describe specific phenomena in a rich picture way: What they have done for SYMPTOMS in the Rwanda Disease Surveillance system is to have a multi-select form with pre-defined options (common symptoms), where each selected symptom is added to the text data element, separated by e.g. semi-colons. Users can then add free text to that. Example using Sigourney Weaver: Standard symptoms Non-standard symptoms Fever; Hunger; Temporary coma; X-ray show lizard-like creature with lots of teeth in abdomen...
