Add a comment box question

Comment questions are open-ended, which means the respondents can provide free form text feedback instead of being limited to predefined options. Comment questions create an opportunity to collect in-depth responses and detailed opinions on a topic or problem. But it also requires more time and effort to complete. Use it moderately to avoid exhausting your respondents.
