    Hi Myorthoforms,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I checked your forms and confirmed that they’re already using the Card Layout. While you can use a Multi-line Question to include a Dropdown for Gender along with another field, unfortunately, it’s not possible to show or hide fields within a Multi-line element based on conditions.

    As a workaround, you can use a Single Choice element instead. Let me show you how:

    1. In your Form Builder, click the Add Element on the left side of your page.Jotform Cards: Dropdown with others field Image 1 Screenshot 50
    2. In the Basic tab, add a Single Choice element to your form.
    3. Select the Single Choice element and click the Gear icon.Jotform Cards: Dropdown with others field Image 2 Screenshot 61
    4. In the Single Choice Properties, go to the Options tab.
    5. Toggle the Display Other Option as On.Jotform Cards: Dropdown with others field Image 3 Screenshot 72

    That's it. Test your form, and your form will allow users to type in their gender if they select Others. Check out the screencast below for the result:

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
