    Hi, we are selling items that people can personalize. Please add in the product options the ability to add an open text box that someone can type to personalize a product. Thanks for considering.

    Hi VHE,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    You can add an open text box for personalization in your product options by using the Quantity Selector feature in the Product List field. Here’s how to do it:

    1. In Form Builder, click on your Product List field and then click on the Shopping Cart icon on the right side of it.
    2. In the Product List window, hover over the product you want to add personalization to and click the Pencil icon to edit it.
    3. Under the Options tab, click Add next to Add a Quantity Selector.
    4. In the Quantity Selector section, choose Text Box as the input type to allow users to type their personalization.
    5. Set the available settings as needed and click Save Quantity.

    This will add an open text box where customers can type their personalized text for the product.

    For more detailed guidance, you can also check the Jotform guide on How to Create Sub Products Based on a Product Option.

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

    That does not work well. It says it requires a quantity (also 0 or 1 don't work). I want an empty text box that people can type into in addition to a quantity selection. Please add this as a feature.

    Hi VHEPTO,

    We've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers. Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.

    That work around does not work. When I type in the quantity box it just goes back to the number 1

    Okay, thank you for sending it to developers to add a text box (or more than one) open text boxes to products to allow for personalization.
