Address

Address fields provides the necessary inputs for entering an address. This means you can add all the inputs for an address with a single click instead of adding, renaming, and formatting multiple fields.

Standard field options

An address field has the following field options:

• Required
• Read Only
• CSS Layout Classes
• Visibility
• Label position
• Field Key
• Conditional logic

Field-specific options

2. Select the address field where you would like to insert a placeholder. In the field options, go to the Advanced section and insert your desired placeholder text in the address fields.
   
3. Save the form and click Preview. Now when the user opens the form, the address fields will show the placeholder text. When they start typing in the address fields, the placeholder text will be cleared.
