Field types

Every question in the builder has a label, a database field name (auto-derived from the label, editable via the ⋯ menu), an optional placeholder, and a Required toggle. Pick a type from the type dropdown on each question card:

Static blocks​

Static blocks display content but never collect or store data. They are excluded from submissions, exports, webhook payloads, and emails.

  • Text Block - a heading plus rich text (sanitized with wp_kses_post).

  • Image Block - one or more images from the media library; multiple images render as a gallery.

  • Section - a heading plus description that also splits the form into a new step. Everything from a Section onward (until the next Section, or the end of the form) becomes its own page, with a progress bar and Back/Next navigation on the frontend.

Options editor​

Dropdown, Single Choice, and Checkbox fields share the same options editor: add one option per row. The option text is both the label shown to visitors and the stored value.
