Agreed, being more specific would help… though we also want to keep this text short. I think perhaps we can skip saying “This poll is dynamic” and let the text speak for itself…

> Options can be added or removed.

and in the poll builder we can update “Allow editing options after posting (dynamic poll)” to say

> Allow options to be added or removed after posting
