  1. Right-click on Form Content.
  2. Select Create.
  3. Choose List Field.
  4. Enter a field name (e.g. Child's Dependant).
  5. Under Field Settings > Entity Type, select or configure the entity type that defines the items within the list. For additional instructions, continue to the Adding Entity Types section below.
  6. (Optional) Click Preview to view the list field in action.
  7. Click Save.

Adding Entity Types

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

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.
