Adding Entity Types

Before you can use a List field, you’ll need to set up Entity Types.

A List field lets editors create a repeating group of related fields, so respondents can add multiple entries.
For example, you could create a “Dependents” list that contains entries such as Adult or Child, each with its own set of fields (e.g., name, age, date of birth).

Step 1 - Open the Entity Type Creation Menu

1. In your form workspace, right-click Entity Types in the left-hand menu.
2. Select Create → Form Entity Type.

Step 2 - Name and save your Entity Type

1. Enter a name (e.g. Child, Dependent) to identify this group.
2. Click Save and Publish.

Step 3 - Add fields to your Entity Type

1. Expand the Entity Type you just created.
2. Right-click on Entity (this appears under your new Entity Type).
3. Select Create, then add the fields you need (e.g. Name, Age, Date of Birth).

Step 4 - Create a List field and link your Entity Type

1. In your form workspace, right-click Form Content to add the field.
2. Select Create → List Field.
3. In Allowed Entity Types, choose the Entity Type(s) you created.

Step 5 - Preview your form

1. Preview the form to check how your List field works.

2. Try adding a new item based on your Entity Type (e.g., Add Child’s Dependent) to ensure it works as expected.
