The field component, whose option icon is shown below, creates a text field in a form.
Editing a field
Click on the field to open the field window, as shown below.
The field window has two tabs. The Field tab lets you change the following settings:
Label
The label for the field.
Field position
Whether the field is shown next to the label, below the label and full width, or below the label and indented (in order to line up with fields displayed next to their labels).
Field type
Whether the field is a single-line field or a multiple-line field.
Required
Whether the visitor has to enter a value in the field.
Value format
The format of the value. Browsers use this setting to offer appropriate autofill suggestions, which helps your site comply with accessibility requirements. Mobile browsers may show a special keyboard for some formats to make entering an appropriate value easier. Some formats are validated, and the visitor will not be able to submit the form with invalid values.
