What these settings do

Every field on a Filla form has a label (the field name respondents see) and an optional description (help text shown below the input). These are separate from the Airtable field name. You can rename them freely in the form without changing your Airtable schema.

​
Label

The label is shown above the input on the form. By default it mirrors the Airtable field name, but you can change it to anything. Labels support variable references. Type @ to open the variable picker and insert a field value from earlier in the form. This lets you create personalized labels like:
  • @{First Name}, what is your shipping address?
  • Confirm email for @{Company Name}
Keep labels short and action-oriented. “Your email address” works better than “Email” alone when the context isn’t clear.

​
Description

The description appears below the input as smaller help text. Use it to:
  • Explain what format you expect (Enter as YYYY-MM-DD)
  • Provide examples (e.g., marketing@yourcompany.com)
  • Set expectations (We'll only use this to send your confirmation)
Descriptions support rich text formatting (bold, italic, links) and @ variable references, so you can show context-sensitive guidance based on earlier answers.

​
Editing the description

Click the description trigger in the Label & description section to open a dedicated editing dialog. The dialog gives you a full-width rich text editor where you can:
  • Format text — select text to reveal a floating toolbar with bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and link options
  • Insert variables — type @ to open the variable picker and insert a dynamic field value (e.g., the respondent’s name from an earlier field)
A hint at the bottom of the editor reminds you: “Select text to format · Type @ to insert a field value.” Click Done to save your changes, or Clear to remove the description entirely.

​
Where to find these settings

Click any field in the canvas to open its settings panel. The Title and Description fields are inside the Label & description section. This section is open by default when you select a field.

​
Common questions

No. The label is only what respondents see on the form. Your Airtable field name stays the same. You can have a field called “Client Email” in Airtable and label it “Your email address” on the form.
The description opens in a rich text editor that supports bold, italic, links, and basic formatting — not raw HTML. Select text to reveal formatting options.
There is no “hide label” toggle currently. If you want a field without a visible label, set the label to a space or leave only the description. Use a text block widget above the field if you need custom formatting around the label.
