Troubleshooting Tips

• Field name errors

  If you see an error about invalid characters or length, confirm the name uses only letters/underscores and is under 32 characters.

• Cannot drag fields

  Make sure you’re in the form editor (not preview mode) and reload the page if dragging isn’t working.

• Validations not applying

  After setting rules, publish or save your form, then clear your browser cache to see the updates.
