I am not sure of the specifics of the problem you are trying to solve,
but another way could be simply to make the "fixed choices" be "fixed
fields". Then the " additional text input" becomes the value of the
field. For example, if choices are:
MasterCard, VisaCard and/or Cheque Account.
These become fields and the user fills the name/number of the card or
account as the " additional text input".
