I have a survey checkboxes item that looks like:

<checkboxes race>
/ caption = "What is your race? Check one or more."
/ options = ("Black or African American","White","Asian","Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander","American Indiana or Alaska Native")
/ other = "Some other race (please describe)"
/ required = false
/ optionvalues = ("0","1","2","3","4","5")
</checkboxes>

If I select "Some other race (please describe)" and fill in the resulting text box that appears, that text box data doesn't appear to get saved anywhere.  (IF I check the other box, I do see that 5 is filled in the appropriate place, and if I get rid of the /optionvalues then I see the "Some other race" text in the appropriate place. But, what gets entered into the "other" textbox doesn't appear to get saved anywhere)

This is in contrast to two <radiobuttons> elements I have with Other options, where the Other textbox is getting saved in a variable with a name like variableother_response

What am I missing? Thanks!

John
