Is there a way to add default values to forms where when clicking into the field, the default values disappear?
As in, I would like to input an example of the information I’m looking for, and then when the user clicks into the field, they type as if there was nothing there.
+20That is called “placeholder text”.
Placeholder text is only available in Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, which is 100% free and offers a ton of features that aren’t natively available in Airtable’s forms.
However, if you want to stick with Airtable’s forms, you can put your example text DIRECTLY ABOVE the field in the “helper text” area. You can enable “helper text” in the right margin (after you click on a field on your form).

Yes, you can achieve this using the placeholder attribute in HTML, which disappears when the user starts typing. Alternatively, if you need more control, use JavaScript to clear the field on focus and restore the default text if left empty. Most form builders also have built-in options for this functionality.
