Form Field Settings (4 Tabs)
The settings of the field you select are gathered in four tabs in the right panel: General, Options, Validation, Condition.
Where to find: Form builder → click a field → right panel Who it's for: Anyone who fine-tunes form fields In short: The settings of the field you select are gathered in four tabs in the right panel: General, Options, Validation, Condition.
Tab 1 — General
The basic settings found in every field:
| Setting | What is it for? |
|---|---|
| Label | The field's title (the question the customer will see). E.g. "Email". |
| Description | The helper text below the field. |
| Width | 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 or Full (to line up side by side). |
| Required | If on, the customer cannot submit without filling out this field. |
| Disabled | Locks the field (visible but cannot be filled). |
| Group ID | Fields with the same group ID are grouped visually (e.g. province, district, postal code under "address"). |
Additional settings by field type
- Text Input: Input Type (Text / Email / Phone / Number / Price / URL), Placeholder, Prefix, Suffix.
- Text Area: Placeholder, Row Count, Maximum Length.
- Date Picker: Include Time (date + time, or date only).
- File Upload: Accepted Types (image/video/document/spreadsheet/presentation extensions), Max. Size (MB), Multiple (more than one file).
- Switch: On Label / Off Label.
- Checkbox: Use as Group (to make a group of optioned boxes).
- Radio Button: Appearance Style (Default or Selection Card).
Tab 2 — Options
Active only for Dropdown, Radio Button and (grouped) Checkbox. For other fields it says "There are no options for this field type".
Here you manage the options:
- Each option has a Label (the visible text) and a Value (the saved value).
- You add a new option with Add Option.
- You order options by dragging them; you delete them with the trash can.
- Other Option (Dropdown/Radio): If you turn it on, the customer can freely type an answer that is not in the list.
To add an option in a Checkbox, you must first turn on "Use as Group" from the General tab.
Tab 3 — Validation
Ensures the value the customer enters complies with rules. The rules vary by field type:
| Field type | Validation rules |
|---|---|
| Text Input (Number/Price) | Minimum Value, Maximum Value. |
| Text Input (Text/Email/Phone/URL) | Min Characters, Max Characters, Regex Pattern + custom Error Message. |
| Text Area | Min Characters, Max Characters. |
| Date Picker | Min Date, Max Date. |
| Checkbox (group) | Min Selection, Max Selection (at least/at most how many options). |
| File / Switch | "There is no validation rule for this field type." |
What is a Regex Pattern? It is an advanced pattern rule (e.g. to enforce a specific format). If you don't know it, leave it empty; email/phone are already validated from the Input Type.
Tab 4 — Condition (conditional display)
You can show and hide a field based on the answer of another field.
Example: If "Yes" is answered to the "Do you want an invoice?" question, let the "Tax No" field appear.
How is it set up?
- Select an Action: Show or Hide.
- If there is more than one rule, combine them with AND / OR.
- Each rule: Select field + Operator + Value.
- Operators: Equals, Not Equals, Contains, Empty, Not Empty.
- If the target field has options (list/radio/checkbox), you select the value from the list.
- You can add another condition with Add Rule.
To set up a condition, the form must have at least 2 fields ("At least 2 fields are required to add a condition").
Note: File Upload and Switch fields are not used in condition setup.
