Text Fields

Lime Forms provides several field types for collecting text-based input.

Text field

A single-line text input for short free-text answers.

Settings:

Label — The label displayed above the field.

Placeholder — Hint text shown inside the field when it is empty.

Help text — Explanatory text shown below the field.

Required — Makes the field mandatory. You can provide a custom error message.

Min length / Max length — Constrains how many characters the end user can enter.

Autocomplete — Sets the HTML autocomplete attribute, allowing browsers to suggest previously entered values. Common values include name, email, tel, street-address, and postal-code.

Regex validation — Validates the input against a pattern. Select a pattern from the custom regex library and optionally provide a custom error message shown when the pattern does not match.

Hide label — Hides the label visually while keeping it accessible to screen readers.

Hide placeholder — Removes the placeholder text.
