2. Fill in the fields and click Create Field.

   

   • Name is capped at a 50 character limit.
   • Description will be displayed in the element detail pane and can serve as instructions or an example for formatting.
   • Placeholder will add text that will be displayed, but not an actual value for the field.
   • Add a Highlight Color to help organize your element detail pane.

Element Settings

In your Element Detail Pane click the three dots in the upper right hand corner and click the Edit Fields option. You can also find this option to Edit Fields at the very bottom of your Element Detail Pane.

Edit, Duplicate or Delete a field

Click the three dots next to any of your fields and you will find options to Edit, Duplicate or Delete a field. Deleting a field will delete all of the data in the field across all elements in your category so make sure you want to do this before clicking. If you want to erase the values from this field, use Clear Field Data. If you have accidentally deleted a field, see the Activity tab to recover deleted fields and their values.
