Input Settings

Click the Type drop-down to set the text input to collect different types of information:

Select the Required checkbox so visitors must fill in the field before submitting the form.

Yes. Enable the Set character limit toggle, then enter the maximum number of characters in the Maximum characters field.

Enable the Add pattern validation toggle, then enter a regular expression (regex) to control what visitors can enter. This lets you define your own validation beyond the default options.

Select the Read only checkbox to prevent visitors from making changes to the field. Visitors can see and copy the text, but not change it. This is helpful for showing calculated or fixed values.

Under Error message format, select either Inline or Tooltip to control how error messages display when there’s a problem with the input. Inline messages show below the field, while tooltips appear as pop-up hints.

Yes. Any input elements you add as part of a custom CMS form, need to have a 'Submit' button. When clicked, the values in each input save to your connected collection.
