What these fields do

Text fields let respondents enter freeform written content. Filla supports three text field types that map directly to their Airtable equivalents:
  • Single line text: a one-line input, best for short answers like names, IDs, or short labels
  • Multiline text: a resizable textarea for longer answers like descriptions or notes
  • Rich text: a full WYSIWYG editor with formatting options (bold, italic, headings, lists, links)

​
Settings reference

All three field types share the following settings.

Common questions

Use single line text for short, structured answers (names, codes, titles). Use multiline text when you expect longer free-form responses but plain text is fine (feedback, descriptions, addresses). Use rich text when you want respondents to format their content with headings, lists, or links, for example a blog post body or a detailed proposal.
Yes. Enable Address autocomplete on a single line text or multiline text field. As the respondent types, Google Maps suggestions appear as a dropdown. Selecting one fills the field with the formatted address.
It renders the input as a password field. Typed characters show as dots. Use this when you want respondents to enter a value (like an ID or code) without it being visible on screen. The value is stored normally in Airtable.
Yes. In the Default value setting, type @ to open the variable picker and select any field from the form. The default value resolves dynamically when the form loads.
