Can I group and copy for widgets?

I'm creating a form that staff need to complete every Friday for EVERY program they ran. Currently in Google forms, they need to fill out and submit this somewhat extensive and mandatory form once for every program.

I want to allow them to fill out one form but with potentially multiple programs. So I would want to be able to create a "grouped" section of fields that I can then use multiple times in the same form, but supporting different content in each.

This closest i have found so far is the "Multiple Text Fields" widget generally used for name and address content. The two issues I have with this (since it's not made for the purpose I'm stuffing down its throat) is that the label doesn't allow enough description, and the text field won't wrap text.

So could you either advise if there is:

A: A way for me to select and group a bunch of fields and then clone or copy that group to reuse in the same form? Or

B: A way to modify the Multiple Text Fields widget to give me more label space, and wrap the form-filler's text in the text field? (I did try this css in the Custom CSS field but I must be missing a step (not a css guru by any means).

textarea {

width: 200px;

overflow-wrap: break-word; /* or word-wrap: break-word; */

}

Hi Stacey,

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.

Currently, Jotform does not have a feature to group and clone a section of fields within the same form for reuse multiple times. However, you can duplicate individual fields or sections manually in the Form Builder.

Regarding your question about the Multiple Text Fields widget, it does not support expanding label space or text wrapping inside the text fields by default. Custom CSS like the one you tried may not work as expected due to widget limitations.

As an alternative, you might consider using configurable list or matrix widgets that allow multiple entries with more flexible layouts.

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

Hi Stacey,

If you would like to clone multiple fields, here's how to do it:

1. Open your form in the Form Builder, hold down CTRL button on your keyboard, and click the fields you wish to clone.
2. As soon as you select more than one field, you'll get new options at the top orange bar. The one you need it Duplicate.
3. You can choose where you wish to clone the selected field.
4. When they are cloned, they will still be selected, so you can move them.

Alternatively, you can use the Configurable List widget. It will allow you to set multiple types of fields, and the users can simply click a button to add a new set. Here's how to add it:

1. Open your form in the Form Builder and click Add Elements from the left.
2. Chose Widgets tab.
3. Click or drag Configurable List to add it to your form.

You can check out this guide to see how to configure it.

If you need help configuring it or would like to make text area larger, add the widget to the form, share the form URL with us, and let us know how you would like the field to look. We'll do our best to help you modify your form to fit your needs exactly.

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