Feature Request: Customizable label for the 'Other / type something' option in AskUserQuestion
Summary
When Claude Code presents multiple-choice questions via the AskUserQuestion tool, the last option is always a free-text entry labeled something like \"Other\" or \"type something else\". This label is hardcoded and cannot be customized.
Requested Change
Allow the label for the free-text / custom input option to be configurable — either:
- Via a
settings.jsonfield (e.g.askUserQuestion.otherLabel) - Or via a parameter on the
AskUserQuestiontool itself (e.g.otherLabel: \"Enter custom response\")
Use Case
Users and teams may want this label to feel more contextual or action-oriented. For example:
- Instead of \"Other\" → \"Do this instead\"
- Instead of \"type something else\" → \"Enter your own answer\"
- Teams with specific UX conventions may want consistent terminology across their workflows
Current Behavior
The free-text option label is hardcoded in the CLI UI and cannot be changed by the user or via any config/markdown file.
Expected Behavior
The label for the free-text option should be customizable via user settings or a tool parameter.
