Add and organize form fields

Add a field for each answer you need from a recipient. Each field card has common controls for required status, question wording, helper text, duplication, deletion, and order.

Add a field

1. Open the form in the Form Editor.

2. In Form Fields, select Add Field.

3. Open Field Type and choose the type that matches the answer you need.

4. Read the type description, then select Add.

You can also use the plus control between field cards to insert a field at that position. The available types are listed in Form fields.

Edit a field

1. Enter Question Text (appears as bold) to give the question its public label.

2. Enter Description text to help your client understand the question when the recipient needs context.

3. Turn on Required when the form should not submit without an answer.

4. Use the type-specific controls below these fields for options, number format, text format, or contact sub-fields.

Question text and description text are separate. A description can explain the choice without becoming the question's bold label.

Reuse, remove, and reorder fields

• Select the duplicate icon on a field card to create a copy of that field.

• Select the delete icon to remove the field.

• Drag the handle at the left of a field card to change its order.

The public form follows the saved field order. Review the result with Preview a public form before sharing the link.

The editor shows the common field-card controls above each question's type-specific settings.

Resolve editor warnings

FlowerBuddy warns when no Contact Details field or Event Date field exists, and warns when either is present but not required. A contact field also warns when no contact sub-field is enabled, or when the field is required but none of its enabled sub-fields is required.

Resolve a warning when the form is intended to create complete event records. A warning can be an intentional choice for a form that is only collecting an initial response.
