I have a field that is a "pop-up menu". It has a value list assigned to it. The field is also set up to "include 'other...' item to allow entry of other values"

Are there any functions/scripts that can help manage the "Other"?

This is what we would like to do: When a user selects Other, we want the field to show:

"Other - "

We know some users will be lazy and not put the "Other - ", or misspell it, or not follow format.

Any way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

I would recommending not allowing the "Other" option. Instead, store your value list choices in a table. Add a script that walks them through the process of adding a new record to the table. With the script controlling everything, you will be able to validate what they enter.
