# Form fields
> Understand all available field types and how to configure them for your forms.
Flowla forms support a range of field types so you can collect exactly the right kind of information — whether that's a date, a file, a number, or a simple yes/no. Choosing the right field type makes forms easier to complete and keeps the data clean and usable on your end.

## 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.
