Question about which form element to use in form

I created this form for speakers to complete for an upcoming conference. There is an area for the person completing the form to list their learning objectives and they usually list 3- 4 objectives. The way the form is currently setup, they should list one objective in the space provided and then choose add more for each of the other objectives. However, for some people this is not clear and they add all of them on one line. Is there a different element I can use to make this easier so that there the form already had 3 or 4 lines for them to complete?

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

To make it easier for speakers to list 3 or 4 learning objectives separately without using the "add more" button, you can use the Multi-line Question element in your form. This element allows you to display multiple fields (lines) within a single card, so you can preset 3 or 4 lines for them to fill out their objectives clearly.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Add a Multi-line Question element to your form in the Form Builder.
2. Enter your main question or label for learning objectives.
3. Add new field elements inside it for each objective line you want (3 or 4).

This way, users will see separate lines for each objective, making it clearer and easier to complete.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

There is not an element named multi-line question. There is one called multi text field under widgets. Is that what you mean.

Hi Nancy,

The element I mentioned is called Multi-line Question, not the Multi Text Field widget. The Multi-line Question lets you add multiple fields in one card, so you can preset 3 or 4 lines for objectives. It’s different from the widget and works better for your case.

Try adding the Multi-line Question element in Form Builder and then add the desired number of fields inside it.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

What is the multi-line question listed under? An element?

Hi Nancy,

The Multi-line Question element is listed under the main elements in the Form Builder. You can add it directly from the elements panel when building your form.

Once added, you can insert multiple fields inside it to create separate lines for each learning objective.

There is not an element named that in my list of elements.

Hi Nancy,

The Multi-line Question element is available in the Form Builder and lets you display multiple questions in a single card. If you don't see it in your elements list, please check if you are using Jotform Cards format, as this element is specific to that.

To add it, go to Form Builder, look for Multi-line Question, add it, then add multiple fields inside it for separate lines.

Nope, I am not using Jotform Cards format. This is a form.

Hi Nancy,

Since you are using a regular form (not Cards), the Multi-line Question element is not available. Instead, you can add multiple separate text fields or paragraph fields for each learning objective directly in your form. This way, you can preset 3 or 4 lines for them to fill out.

Arrange these fields vertically to make it clear and easy for users to enter each objective separately.
