Add a Text Field

Add a fillable text box to a form.

How it works


Draw where the box should go and give it a name — the name is how the value is identified when the form is exported or filled programmatically, so something structured like applicant.name is worth more than field1. Place the same field on several pages and they share one value, which is usually what a multi-page form wants.

Questions


What should I call it?
Something meaningful. Names appear in exported data and in any system that reads the form.
Can it hold several lines?
Yes, if you turn on multiline.
What if the name already exists?
The tool refuses, because duplicate names silently merge into one value.
