Formfield

May 28, 2025

This update includes additions, improvements and fixes.

Better script handling

We have completely rebuilt the script handling, making it easier to attach scripts to forms. It is now possible to assign multiple scripts.

Additionally, there is now an option to mark a script to be executed only after a form has been successfully submitted. This feature has been requested by many of our customers, and we're happy to finally offer it.

HTML / Code element

A new field type has been added: HTML / Code. This allows you to add third-party scripts to your forms that are visible to your users when viewing a form.

AI Summary

We introduced a new AI feature called "AI Summary." When AI Summary is enabled, responses will be analyzed by the AI, and a concise summary of the collected data will be generated. This feature is experimental, and we'll improve it over time by tweaking the prompt. The summary is automatically refreshed every six hours if AI Summary remains enabled. It is disabled by default.

Feel free to let us know if the summarized information is helpful to you or not.

Minor improvements

  • It's now possible to use dynamic data from the form for the admin notification subject line.
  • When duplicating or deleting a field, the page is not being fully refreshed anymore and the scroll position will remain after performing an action.
  • Bulk exports are now also possible in Excel format.

We also fixed a few smaller bugs and updated our underlying software to their latest versions.

You are now able to define custom texts for the file upload field. This can be done when creating or editing a file upload field.

Custom texts for the file upload field

Formatting options are limited to bold, italic and underline and you can only add up to 255 characters. You are not able to remove any of those lines, so by saving an empty value, it defaults to our texts.

We also improved the loading indicator a little bit. It was kind of broken before, because it jumped straight to 100%. It's not a progress bar anymore, but a spinner indicating that something is happening in the background.

Today we added a new form field: Consent checkbox

This field allows you to create a, well... consent checkbox. This can be used to make sure people accept your privacy policy or agree that they have read other legal documents. Use it however you see fit. In the frontend, this will show the text you enter, with any additional links and a checkbox next to it.

Today, we added a new fieldset: Signature ✍️

As the name may suggest, it is now possible to add a way to sign forms. This works on both mobile (touch) and desktop (mouse). When a signature was submitted, it is stored as image and available in emails and exports as direct links. When viewing responses in the backend, the actual image of the signature is shown.

Attachments in emails (bug fix)

There was also a bug when sending notifications to admins and submitters when the form had one or more uploaded fields. The files were not accessible from within the emails, but only showed an internal identifier.

An absolute link to each file is now visible directly within those emails.
