Edit or remove fields in a form

You can add, arrange, and remove form fields even after you’ve created your form. To start editing form fields, go to the form builder.

To go to the form builder

1. SelectForm>Manage Forms.
2. Open the form you need to customize.
3. Once you’re in the form builder, go to theFormtab.

To remove a single element from the form, hover over it and select the trashcan icon in the top-right of that field, or drag and drop it from your form to the left panel. To remove all fields from your form, use theRemove AllorAdd Allbuttons in the left panel. These actions will only remove the field from your form and will not delete the corresponding column from the sheet. SeeAdd Additional Elements to the Formfor more information.

To add, arrange, and remove form fields

You can do the following actions in the form builder.

Edit the form field settings

When you select a field in the form builder, you can edit its settings in the Field Settings pane. In the Field Settings pane, you’ll see these tabs:

• Field:Modify a field’s label and other properties
• Logic:Define what happens based on the values the user selected in the form field

To edit the form field settings

Use this section/property	To do this
Column Properties box	View and edit the column name, column type, and column properties such as the values in the contact list or dropdown.
Label	Choose to either use the column name or a custom label as the name of the form field.
Help Text	Add a description, instruction, or help text to appear underneath the form field.

Tips and other notes about editing form field settings

In the Display As section

The field display options depend on the column type of your field.

Column type	Available form field display options
Text/Number	Single-line text box Multi-line text box
Checkbox	Label above Label to the right
Dropdown (Single Select)	Dropdown (Single Select) Vertical Radio Buttons Horizontal Radio Buttons
Dropdown (Multi Select)	Dropdown (Multi Select) Vertical Checkboxes Horizontal Checkboxes
Symbols	Dropdown (Single Select) Vertical Radio Buttons Horizontal Radio Buttons

With conditional logic

You can make required fields appear in the form only on certain conditions.

For example: You created a conditional logic that makes theDeadlinefield appear when the user choosesUrgentin thePriorityfield. If the user choosesLowin thePriorityfield, theDeadlinefield wouldn’t appear even if it’s a required field. It will only appear when the user selectsUrgentin thePriorityfield.

Using the Hidden and Default value features

You can include a certain value in a specific column without the form submitter completing that question.

要做到这一点,使用隐藏和默认值特点res together. For example, you wantOpento be the default value in theStatusfield, and you don't want the user to see that field. Set theStatusfield as a hidden field. Then in theDefault Valuebox, select/typeOpen.

If you aren’t specifying a default value, you can remove the hidden field from the form instead.

System columns in forms

You can’t add System columns in forms. However,you can add System columns to the sheet to automatically track certain information, such as the date and time of the submission.
