Please check the official documentation for adding,editing or deleting fields on our new documentation website.

This feature update allows you to add larger text sizes and present rich formatted text in a field description placeholder (i.e. via rich text editor) ,this context is key to ensure more accurate responses to the survey as a whole.

Follow these steps to guide you on how to use this feature:

Go to settings, click on surveys.

Create a new survey by clicking ‘new survey’, enter a survey name and description of your choice.

Add a new field by clicking on ‘+add field’.

A pop up box with a list of different field types will appear on your screen. Choose whichever one will work best for the type of data you are trying to capture.


A visual editor should appear below "Add field description (optional):".

Add some text in the description-editor, format it however you want to, and as long text as you want to

For fields where it's possible to add a default value (all field-types except "image", "description", "title" and "categories"), the default value box should be displayed with no toggle-switch.
