Step 4: Enter the Name of the Field

• The Name of the Field is what you will see in the contact profile. This is also what will show on the HighLevel form/survey if “Show Label” is enabled. 

Step 5: Enter Placeholder

• Placeholder is what will show in the box (specifically for text or other manual entry fields) in a HighLevel form/survey

Step 6: Enter any other applicable information for the field

Part 2: Utilize Custom Fields

• Drag and Drop From the Custom Fields Section of Form or Survey Builder to Utilize Forms
• NOTE: Custom Fields can also be created within the Form or Survey Builder. They cannot be edited (permanently) or deleted within the Form or Survey Builder. 

Part 3: Edit & Delete Custom Fields

• To either Edit or Delete A Custom Field, navigate back to Settings –> Custom Fields
• Click on the Pencil Icon to Edit a Custom Field
• Click on the Trash Can Icon to Delete a Custom Field
