How to customize First/Last Name subfields on your 123FormBuilder form?

To add and customize additional subfields to the First/Last name field, you will have to simply select the field, go to Options in the left side panel. Under Additional subfields, you can add a small dropdown list for initial and middle name.

Important notes

If you want to add a Title to the First/Last name field, you can do that by enabling Use Title before name option.

Once enabled, you are presented with some predefined options of title that can be easily edited – either edit the text or add more title options.

In Submissions table, a new column will appear for each subfield when any of this these options is enabled.

Placeholder text

By default, the placeholder text that appears in First/Last name field is First and Last. These two options will be shown by default to respondents within the First/Last name field in order for them to understand where and how to provide input.

These two values can be changed with anything that fits your use case.

For example, we’ve changed the placeholder text to Test 1 and Test 2. These two texts will be shown to respondents and once they click within the input text box, the placeholder texts disappear. If your respondents do not provide their name, these placeholder texts won’t be send to the Submissions table, as they are only a visual aid for respondents and do not represent an actual value.
