I would like to be able to add the “Add ‘other’ choice to allow for custom values” option to checkbox fields. This option is available for radio buttons.

This has been requested quite a bit in the past. I don’t know where that request stands. I can mark this topic for the developer to take a look at when he has time.

Just wanted to check in on this request. Has anyone had time to look into it?

I would love the ability to not only have “other” but, that other be permanently added to the list of future choices. This would work like post categories. There is a list of checkboxes but, there is also a link to add a new category to the list on the fly.

If there is another feature request like this, I would like to vote and follow it!

I created a feature request if you’d like to pile on. I assume someone else has also created one but, I cant find it.

Hi @charles9

I’ve got this on my to-do for ACF 5.5.0!
