Inline editing for your form fields

We’re excited to announce a major enhancement to 123FormBuilder: the new inline editing feature! This update streamlines the way you create and edit forms, making it quicker and more intuitive than ever.

With inline editing, you can now make modifications directly within the form itself by clicking any form field in the editor. No more searching through side menus for each field. Your changes happen directly on the form, making the process straightforward.

Inline editing options

The inline editing feature also brings you more customization options for your labels and instructions directly in the form editor. Let’s go through each of these options below:

First, you’ll notice that when you click on a form field the inline menu bar will display at the top of the form. The inline menu bar is slightly different for the Text content field compared to all other fields since it allows you to choose the text size (Normal or different Heading sizes).

The following inline editing options are the same for all of the other form fields and instructions:

1. Text formatting options such as Bold, Italic, or Underlined:

2. Text color:

3. Transparency – adjust the color opacity:

4. Add URL – you can link relevant content directly to your form fields or instructions:

5. Add Numbered & Bullet Lists – clicking the bullet list icon once adds a bullet point to the current line or selected text. On the second click, the bullet point is changed to a number. On the third click, the list is removed:

6. Alignment – by default, the text is left-aligned. Clicking on the alignment button will cycle through the available alignment options in the following order: center, right, justify, and then back to left:

The changes made inline are saved automatically when you press Enter, click outside the field, or even when you navigate away from the field. Inline editing is responsive and it works on both desktop and mobile devices.
