Cloud Designer - Creating a choice - Show Input on Selection

Does anyone know how you reference the value that a user enters into the text box that displays when a choice with "Show Input on Selection" selected is selected by the user?

The value is stored in the field that is referencing the choice. It is a shame that it is not in another field so you can save the main choice and free text separately back to your fields in an update.

 

Other thoughts -

1. add a separate text field, but its not ideal as you cannot make it mandatory when a 'other' choice is selected.

2. add a decision and decide if the choice result is a valid option, if it is run an update against the picklist field, if it isnt run an update against your free text field.
