NXT Donation Forms - "other" fund not an option?

Question

I'm setting up a donation form in NXT and would like to include an "Other" option under the fund selection. The goal is to allow donors to type in a different fund name if they don’t see the one they’re looking for. I’m only listing our priority funds for this fiscal year, so I don’t want to include the full list.

I’ve noticed that this option is available in OLX, which is why I’m wondering if I might be missing something in NXT. Is there a way to enable or configure this?

We added a new fund in RE called "other, please comment below"  donors can write in their designation in the comments.  During gift processing we change the fund, campaign , and appeal to match the donor's intended designation.  Working well for us so far but it has only been a month

@Lisa Marchi, she is referring to asking people to put in the comments what the other fund needs to be.  Since it is just a text box, you can use it like an other fund field, especially since it won't match up to a specific fund automatically, it will have to be manually adjusted.

Hey Austen, What do you mean by repurpose the Comment Field? Can you provide an example?
