Single Line Text fields are the most commonly used field type. They are typically used to insert a small amount (or single line) of text, such as a name or a city.
Standard field options
A Single Line Text field has the following options:
Default values and field icons
The default value icons can be used to specify whether the text entered in a Single Line Text field on the form builder page should be a default value or a placeholder. Learn how to set a default value and how to set a placeholder in a text field.
Field action icons allows you to duplicate, delete, and/or move a field on the form builder page. See the field action icons article for more information.
Field-specific options
Format
Use the Format field option to make sure users provide information in the right format. This can range from phone numbers to postal codes to serial numbers, and much more!
Learn more about customizing the format and input mask for your fields.
Allowed file types
By default, any file types supported by your WordPress installation can be uploaded in a File Upload field, but you can limit the allowed file types. Open the field options, scroll down to Allowed file types, select 'Specify allowed types' and check the boxes for the file types you would like to allow. Only file types accepted by WordPress will be included in these options.
If you would like to allow additional file types, take a look at the allow extra file types customization.
Display single line text fields
Display the value submitted in a Single Line Text field in a form's confirmation message, email, or View. Just insert [x], where x is the ID or key of the Single Line Text field.
