It cannot be done using the request form, but you can add use forms to do this, it has an option to add Others to the list of choices, it looks something like this:

Or you could add a hidden section that is shown if Other is selected to show a paragraph field when Other is selected.

Correct, if you link the Form field to a Jira field you would need a second field and use the hidden section that I mentioned below and link that form field that is shown when Other is selected and then link that field to a Jira field.

When you build your form you have an option to link the form field to a Jira field, like I did in this form

Any changes to the description field on the form would also be reflected in the Jira description field and vice versa (as long as the form is not in a submitted status).

As I mentioned above, it cannot be done in the request form, so you would either have some fields on the request forms and some in forms, or hide everything on the request form and use forms as the main request. A Jira field does not have the option to add additional input fields when you select Other in this case, so the solution is to use Forms instead since you have that option there.

A request type has the request form that a customer see on the portal, and then the work item view that the agent see on the back end. You can link the request type to Forms, which allows you to make the input from more dynamic by adding fields and sections that are shown only when specific inputs are selected.
