The option box I see everyone referencing, "Allow user to enter custom text" is not present on the format tab or anywhere else that I can see. Is there another way to do this?

@Rex390265741pal there are a few ways, but:

1. All Tools - Prepare a Form - Create A Form

2. Click on Edit - Text

3. In the tool bar, click on the text tool to enter text

4.

Definitely appreciate the response. I apologize, I don't think I was clear enough in my question.

I have a date field box created with the option to select a date. I want to keep that option and allow users to enter text as well. In the current date field box, under format and options, there is not an option to allow users to create custom text.

If I create a drop down box, under options tab there is an option for allow custom text; however, when I select date under format tab, it does not allow custom text due to not being in proper format.
