Types of Custom Fields
Here's a list of field types and a description of how each will behave in a form. When creating custom fields, these field types appear in the Type drop-down menu.
Active Users: This field is a drop-down menu that includes all active users. In the gif below, the field Showing Assistant Test is a custom Active Users field.
Amount: This field is formatted for entering amounts of money (in dollars).
Bulk Text: This type of field is ideal when you want to allow for large amounts of text. When creating this field, you can set a length, which limits the user from entering more than a specified number of characters. The boundary of the field can also be lengthened to make it easier to type several lines.
Date: This field only allows for dates.
Decimal: This field looks like a normal text field, but you won't be able to update the form unless a decimal is entered here.
Email: This field looks like a normal text field, but you won't be able to update the form unless an email is entered here.
Multiple Choice: This allows you to create multiple options for users to choose from. Users can only select 1 option.
Multiple Select: This allows you to create multiple options for users to choose from. Users can choose 1 or more options.
Number: Only whole numbers are allowed. You won't be able to update your form if there are letters or decimals in this field.
Percent: You can enter any number, including decimals, in this field. Note that even whole numbers default to showing 1 decimal place. You won't be able to update your form if there are letters or symbols (like a percent sign) in this field.
Phone: This field is formatted to only allow for 10-digit phone numbers.
Text: You can enter both numbers and letters in this field. When creating this field, you can set a length, which limits the user from entering more than a specified number of characters.
Web Link: Operates and appears like a text field. However, when a URL is saved in this field, an Open Link button appears. Clicking the button opens the link in a new tab.
Yes/No: This field appears as a drop-down with only 2 options: Yes and No.
