Field settings

Each field has additional configuration options available when building your form. Pre-fill answer When enabled, the field appears with a default answer already filled in. The respondent can edit or overwrite it before submitting. Useful for suggesting a typical answer or pre-populating information you already know. Placeholder The helper text displayed inside an empty field (e.g. Enter your response). Guides respondents on what to type without pre-filling the field — the text disappears as soon as they start typing.
