How to Add and Set Up the Multiple Text Fields Widget

July 13, 2025

With Jotform’s Multiple Text Fields widget, you can group related text fields into a single, organized section on your form—perfect for collecting structured input like addresses, product feedback, or details about dependents. This widget is especially useful when you want users to provide several pieces of related information quickly and clearly, without separating input fields throughout your form.

It’s great for businesses, schools, service providers, or anyone who needs to gather grouped data in a clean and efficient way. You can customize the field labels to fit your exact needs, helping your respondents stay focused and reducing the chance of errors or skipped fields.


Whether you’re creating a new form or updating an existing one, you can add and set up the Multiple Text Fields widget on your form in a few easy steps. Here’s how to do it:

  1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.
