Form Field Presets

Form field presets allow you to save frequently used field configurations as reusable templates. Instead of configuring every field from scratch, your team can apply pre-saved fields to accelerate form creation and ensure standardised data capture across your organisation.

Note: This feature is available on the Professional Plan and the Enterprise Plan.
