Access field properties

Every field in PlatoForms has a properties panel where you change its settings, such as whether it is required, read-only or hidden. This page shows how to open it from the form builder.

Access field properties

To access the properties panel of a form field, follow these steps:

1. Open your form from the Dashboard to enter the form builder.

2. In the left Field Panel, hover over the field widget you want to edit.

3. Click on the Field Label or Field ID, as marked in the image below.

   

   Note

   • The Field ID is a unique code that helps distinguish fields, making it easier to find the one you want to edit. This ID usually appears as a number after the field type. For example, the field header shows the type name (Text, with a type dropdown) followed by “#2”; the “2” is the Field ID.

   You will open the field’s properties panel as shown below.

   

4. Edit the field properties as needed.
