v2 field complete reference
This page is the field-by-field behavior checklist for v2. Use the linked guide for the worked example and screenshot; use this table when you need the exact effect and limitation of each field-specific control. Shared controls (label, internal name, required, unique, validation, appearance, and label placement) are described in the field settings reference.
| Field | Settings and what they do | Result and limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Short Text | Accepted data type, Pattern (regular expression), min/max length, Required, Unique, custom error. | Stores one-line text. Pattern is evaluated on the answer; anchor ^…$ for a whole-answer match. Empty optional values bypass non-required validation. |
| Long Text | Accepted data type, Pattern, min/max length, Required, Unique, custom error; text-area size/appearance. | Stores multi-line text. Length and pattern validation apply at submission; do not use HTML for formatting. |
| Single Choice | Choices, Add Other, Text/Button display, one–four column layout, Required, Unique, custom error, Import. | Exactly one fixed choice (or Other text) can be selected. Import replaces choices on Save, disables Other, and may change layout. |
| Multi Choice | Choices, Add Other, Text/Button display, one–four column layout, Required, Unique, custom error, Import. | Zero or more choices can be selected; Required means at least one. Import replaces choices and disables Other. |
| Drop down | Choices, first-choice Empty switch, Required, Unique, custom error, Import. | One choice is submitted. Empty makes choice 1 have no value, so Required rejects the prompt. Import replaces the list only after Save. |
| Date | Default value and date format, plus shared validation/appearance. | Stores a date in the selected format. Defaults are suggestions, not proof that the date is valid for the business process. |
| Time | Time display/format and shared validation/appearance. | Stores a time of day. Time zone and date context must be handled by the surrounding workflow. |
| Calendar | Calendars, default view, Read only, view selector, Publish in cart, Price / hour, Cart title. | Displays configured calendar events; editability and event visibility depend on calendar permissions. Cart publication requires a configured payment/cart flow. |
| Appointment | Appointment interval and available days, plus shared label/validation. | Shows selectable slots generated from availability. It cannot create usable slots until availability is configured. |
| Text | Rich text content, typography, colors, borders, and label placement. | Displays instructions/content; it does not collect a response or participate as an answer field. |
| Name | Show/hide title, first, initials, middle, and last-name subfields. | Stores the enabled components. Removing a component loses that input from the form; required behavior applies to enabled components. |
| Signature | Pen color, pen width, signature complexity, Required. | Captures a drawn signature image/data. It is not identity verification or a legal-signature guarantee. |
| Address | Address style, visible street/city/region/ZIP/country subfields, allowed/default country, autocomplete. | Renders the selected structure. Autocomplete/search requires provider/API availability; collect only needed personal data. |
| Map | Initial address; Interactive, Save Value, Map Type, Zooming, Full Screen, Panning, Rotation, Street View, Search address. | Map controls affect respondent interaction; Save Value controls whether a location is submitted. Provider/API availability and privacy rules apply. |
| Email-specific accepted format, Required, Unique, custom error, appearance. | Rejects malformed email values; deliverability, ownership, and mailbox existence are not verified. | |
| Phone Number | Default country/prefix, Required, Unique, custom error. | Stores a telephone value in the selected country context; it does not prove the number is reachable. |
| Website | Website/URL format, Required, Unique, custom error. | Validates URL shape only; it does not fetch or verify the destination. |
| File Upload | Allowed file types, Allow multiple files, password protection and its text, Required. | Accepts one or multiple files according to the inline switch. Type filtering is not malware scanning; storage/access limits and password policy still apply. |
| Picture | Image source, alternate text, click URL, click target, appearance. | Displays an image; click behavior depends on a valid URL and target. Alternate text is required for accessibility. |
| Video | Video source, autoplay, loop, appearance. | Playback depends on browser/provider policy; autoplay may be blocked unless muted. |
| Photo Camera | Camera resolution and front/rear facing mode, Required. | Requests camera access and captures an image. Permission, HTTPS, device, and browser support are prerequisites. |
| Shopping Cart | Product counter, product picture, unit type, unit price, empty-state text/appearance. | Shows cart items and totals. It is not a payment gateway; checkout requires a configured processor. |
| Payment Processor | Enabled gateways, labels/status, Required/appearance. | Processes payment only when at least one gateway is configured and available to the account/plan. |
| Product | Picture, layout, unit price, unit name, choices, Add to cart caption/colors. | Adds a configured product to the cart. Price/currency and inventory are business configuration, not respondent validation. |
| Survey | Questions, choices, scale visibility, Required/appearance. | Renders repeated rating questions. Removing a question/choice changes the stored response shape. |
| Slider | Price-field mode, minimum/maximum, step, low/high labels, Required. | Stores a numeric step value (or price value in price mode). Range and step determine allowed values. |
| Net Promoter | Scale labels/range, Required, appearance. | Stores the selected recommendation score; it does not calculate a business KPI unless reporting/workflow does so. |
| Rating | Star count/scale, Required, appearance. | Stores the selected rating. Stars are presentation; they do not imply a specific unit or meaning. |
| Quiz | Time and unit, submit on expiry, randomize, partial results, minimum points, valid answers. | Scores configured answers. Expiry/randomization alter respondent experience; valid answers and passing points must be tested with boundary cases. |
| Terms of Service | Link text/URL, link method, target, Required. | Records consent state only when checked; it does not prove the respondent read or accepted external legal changes. |
| Form Progress | Show page numbers/titles and allow free navigation. | Displays progress/navigation. Free navigation can let respondents revisit pages; conditional logic and required fields still govern submission. |
| Social Media | Enabled networks and sharing picture. | Shows share actions; availability and resulting dialogs depend on each social provider and browser. |
| Code | Code/source content and execution/display options exposed by the account. | Runs or displays custom code according to the configured context; treat as trusted code and test security, CSP, and data exposure. |
| Button | Click action, link URL, page target, link target, caption/style. | Performs the selected action. Reset can discard data; custom buttons are separate from automatic page buttons. |
| BigData Dropdown | Collection, collection field, filter, public endpoint, first-choice text. | Choices come from a configured collection. No collection/permissions/endpoint means no usable choices; avoid exposing private data. |
| Big Data Row Viewer | Collection, row/field mapping, display template/options after a collection is configured. | Displays data from the selected row. Controls remain hidden/disabled until an authorized collection exists. |
| Current User | User attribute/source mapping exposed by the account. | Prefills authenticated-user data; anonymous respondents cannot provide a current-user value and privacy permissions apply. |
| Hidden Short Text | Hidden value/name and shared data-binding options. | Submits a value without showing an input. Never treat hidden values as trusted security controls; respondents can inspect client data. |
| Hidden Long Text | Hidden multi-line value/name and shared data-binding options. | Same trust limitation as Hidden Short Text; use server-side authorization for sensitive decisions. |
| Repeatable List | Initial item count, maximum item count, contained fields. | Respondents repeat a group of fields up to the maximum. Nested validation and empty rows must be tested. |
| Page Break | Page placement and automatic navigation interaction. | Splits the form into pages; page navigation does not bypass required/conditional validation. |
| reCAPTCHA | Form-level CAPTCHA/security settings, not a palette field. | Helps resist automated submissions; requires provider keys/configuration and is not a substitute for authorization or rate limiting. |
Toolbar and row controls
The selected-field toolbar and inline command rows are part of the field implementation. Their exact controls and effects are documented in field settings reference, including choice Import, Drop down Empty, File Upload multiple files, Map controls, Survey row removal, and the automatic page-button row.
