This page lists every field you can add in the WPZOOM Forms builder, what it is for, and the options it offers. Fields marked PRO are available in WPZOOM Forms PRO.
If you are new to the builder, read Getting to Know the WPZOOM Forms Builder first.
Table of Contents
Click a field on the canvas to open Field Settings in the right panel. Two tabs are available.
General tab
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Label | The text shown above (or next to) the field. Also used as the column name in Submissions and in emails. |
| Placeholder | Hint text shown inside the empty field. |
| Default Value | Pre-filled value. |
| Required | Visitors cannot submit the form while this field is empty. A red asterisk is shown (see Show required-field asterisk in Form Settings). |
| Help text | Small explanatory text displayed under the field. |
| Width | Full, 1/2, 1/3 or 2/3 of the form width — see Field widths. |
Advanced tab
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| CSS Class | One or more class names added to the field wrapper — handy for targeting the field from your theme’s CSS. |
| Additional CSS | CSS applied only to this field. Write selector to target the wrapper, e.g. selector { border-radius: 8px; }. |
| Field ID | The field’s unique, read-only ID (e.g. input_7f6bf203). It is used in email tags — [field_input_7f6bf203] — and in conditional rules. |
| Conditional Logic (PRO) | Show or hide this field depending on another field’s value. See Using Conditional Logic. |
Layout fields (Heading, Paragraph, Divider) have no Label/Required options because they don’t collect data.
A single-line text input. Default label Single Line Text. – Use as email subject — when checked, the value the visitor types becomes the subject line of your notification email (instead of the default “New Form Submission – {Site name}”).
A single-line input intended for a person’s name. Default label Name. No extra options; the value is used to fill the Name column in Submissions.
Validates that the visitor typed a valid email address. – Use as reply-to address — when checked, replying to the notification email replies straight to the visitor. If no Email field has this option, the first Email field in the form is used. The value also fills the Email column in Submissions.
A telephone-number input (type="tel", so phones show a numeric keypad). No format validation is enforced.
A URL input; the browser validates that it looks like a web address.
A numeric input with spinner arrows.
– Min / Max — lowest and highest accepted values.
– Step — increment used by the spinner and for validation (e.g. 0.5).
A multi-line text area. Default label Paragraph Text. – Rows — initial height in text rows (1–20, default 4). Visitors can resize it.
Select, Radio and Multichoice share the same Options editor:
A dropdown list; one choice. Default label Dropdown. The placeholder (default “— Select —”) is shown as the first, unselectable entry.
Radio buttons; one choice. Default label Single Choice.
A list of checkboxes; multiple choices allowed. Default label Checkboxes. Submitted values are listed comma-separated in emails and Submissions.
A single checkbox — for agreements, opt-ins or yes/no questions. – Checkbox Label — the text next to the box (default “I agree to the terms”). The field Label above it is optional. – Submissions and emails store the checkbox text when it is ticked (or “Yes” if the text is empty). Use this field (with Required) for terms acceptance, or pair it with the Mailchimp Conditional subscription mode.
Opens a calendar picker.
– Mode — Single (one date), Multiple (several dates) or Range (start and end).
– Date Format — Y-m-d (2026-08-23), F j, Y (August 23, 2026), m/d/Y, d/m/Y.
A time dropdown. – 24-Hour Format — off shows 12 AM–11 PM with AM/PM, on shows 00–23. – Minute Interval — 5, 10, 15 (default), 30 or 60 minutes (hour only). – Minimum Hour / Maximum Hour — limit the selectable range, e.g. 9 to 17 for business hours.
Lets visitors attach files.
– Accepted File Types — comma-separated extensions; default jpg, jpeg, png, gif, tiff, pdf, doc, docx, zip, rar.
– Max File Size (MB) — 1–50, default 5. (Your server’s own upload limit still applies — check System Status.)
– Allow Multiple Files.
Files are stored in a private folder and attached to the notification email. Read Accepting File Uploads for storage and security details.
Not visible to visitors; submits a value you choose — useful for tracking where a submission came from. – Dynamic Value — None (use default value), Page URL, Page Title, Referrer URL, UTM Source / Medium / Campaign / Term / Content, User IP Address, Current Date, Current Time. – Default Value — a static value when Dynamic Value is None.
On the canvas the field is shown as a dashed placeholder so you can still select it.
A consent checkbox that is required by default. – Consent Text — default “I consent to having this website store my submitted information so they can respond to my inquiry.” – Privacy Policy URL and Privacy Link Text (default “Privacy Policy”) — optional; adds a link after the consent text.
These fields structure the form; they do not collect data and never appear in Submissions or emails.
<strong>, <em>, <a>, <br>, <span>, <code>.A horizontal line. No options.
Every field has a Width setting: Full, 1/2, 1/3 or 2/3. Consecutive fields whose widths add up to a full row are placed side by side, so:
On small screens fields stack to full width automatically. The Horizontal and Compact form layouts in Form Settings change how labels and fields are arranged overall — see Styling Your Forms.
