Form field types
All 12 field types you can add to a registration form, which take options, and which collect an answer.
Every field shares the same base: a label, an optional description, and a required toggle. Some types add their own configuration - choice types take a list of options, the rating type takes a scale, and a section is layout-only with no answer at all.
The field types
| Type | Use it for | Extra config |
|---|---|---|
| Short text | Names, short free-text answers | - |
| Long text | Comments, longer responses | - |
| Single select | Pick exactly one from a list | Options |
| Multiple select | Pick several from a list | Options |
| Dropdown | Pick one from a long list | Options |
| Number | Quantities, ages | - |
| Email addresses (format-validated) | - | |
| Phone | Phone numbers | - |
| Date | Pick a date | - |
| Yes / No | A simple boolean toggle | - |
| Rating | A star rating | Scale (max) |
| Section break | A heading to group questions - not a question | - |
Notes on specific types
- Single select / Multiple select / Dropdown require you to add options. Single select and dropdown both capture one choice; multiple select captures several.
- Email is format-validated at submit, so you collect usable addresses.
- Rating uses a configurable star scale (you set the maximum).
- Section break is purely visual - it renders a heading to organize the form and never collects an answer or appears as an export column.
Reach for Dropdown over Single select when the option list is long - it keeps the form compact. Use Single select when you want all choices visible at a glance.
