Include a text section between inputs on a custom form
Meredith Owens
When creating a custom form, include a flexible text section that can be added between inputs. This could be formatted using the Markdown editor, which would allow for headers to be used.

Also, in the "custom form" template, allow adding a checkbox WITHOUT requiring a text field. i.e. add a checkbox and have the field next to it, blank. This will allow flexibility for users.

Connie Corlett: Would you be able to provide us with an example of how you would use that type of field on a form?

Our HOA requires approvals for replacement windows, roofs, etc. We REALLY want to do away with paper forms.
A custom form was created. The restrictions for an installation, such as window style and frame color, shingle colors are in the "Edit Text" area above the form fields.
A mandatory check box was added with "I will comply with the restrictions stated in the paragraph above."
But the email sent does not include the restrictions the submitter agreed to. This presents a problem to the HOA if the owner later does not comply. There is no way to prove the restrictions currently on the website match what they agreed to weeks or months earlier.

I would add the ability to add a horizontal section divider line as one of the "types" of form elements you can add.

Add "Informational Text" field option to the form builder
Michael Tenlen
We want the ability to insert and capture instructional and/or terms-of-agreement text on a form. This information would be displayed when users complete the form AND be included in the emailed version of the submitted form.
The end result is having an emailed version of a form that closely resembles the online form that the end user completed. Currently any instructional text that I (admin) display to a user on the top of a form page get stripped from the emailed version created on submit.
In the Form Builder:
Admin would have an option to insert an "informational text" field on the form. The admin would then type in the static text they want displayed on the form. The admin would control where this information appears on the form by inserting the new field type before, among or after other fields that collect user input. We'd want the ability use multiple "informational text" fields within a single form.
As the form is displayed for completion:
The form would display the static "informational text" to the user. The text would display on the form in the position (order of fields) the admin defined when building the form.
On the emailed version of the form:
The static informational text is included in the email that captures the values submitted by the user. The text displays in the position (order of fields) the admin defined when building the form.

We're trying to create forms that our residents can use to request Gate Access Barcode Stickers, reserve our clubhouse, etc. I agree it would be great to have a section where we ask for information that is grouped together. For example Vehicle #1: Make, Model, Year and Tag Number, Vehicle #2: Make, Model, Year and Tag Number, etc. Thank you

Would be helpful to be able to add a text field between form elements. This would allow me to add instructions for different sections on the form. Similar to what can be done on a Microsoft Access form. Could be a text box or a label but it would need to allow several lines of text. Thank you.
