Adding Section Headings to Forms

I completely agree! I was just going to make the same suggestion, but found yours. I too am making a long form (converting a rubric) and would like to add section breaks with a brief description of each section.

Note the form view allows one to enter a long description of the form, change field names to something potentially more descriptive or ‘friendly,’ and enter a long help text for each field requested in the form. (The case described by @S_Thurston is supported explicitly; your needs are supported, as well, but may require a little more creativity to implement.)

Hello, did anyone figure out how to include a section heading? The Guide to forms link does not include how to implement a section heading. There wouldn’t be any question associated with a section heading. This is simply a way to break out the form for better user flow.

I have to the same need, is there a work around solution that anyone here can help with?

I’m using a work around. Basically have a ‘Single Select’ custom field type, type in the heading, and then just leave the select options blank. To make it look prettier, I use characters such as underscores above and below the text in the heading, dashes etc…as shown below. On the form, then show the field as a list.

Any updates to Airtable with regard to sections lately?

I thought about this too but in the form, it doesn’t just show the heading, there’s a white box to enter the single text that makes it look like it’s NOT a section. Airtable could EASILY add ‘text’ only field. a Heading of some sort. Also, it would be nice to be able to FORMAT the text in forms. BOLD and CENTRE are pretty basic requirements surely. Especially for the form heading/intro. you can’t centre it!

The suggestion from @Joelle_Dharmakumara was to use a single select field, not single line text.

Hello !
Any update regarding this feature ? I also need this Heading / text only field.
Thanks !

Thanks for this! For any others that get stuck with this hack, the key is the last sentence. Click on the question, then next to “Show Field as” click “List”

When making tiles I copy and pasted an upper score the line below my title to make it look like it's underlined. 

Here is an upper score to copy and paste: ▔

I don't understand why this simple feature is not yet added to the Airtable yet after 5 years!

I recommend that Airtable make section headers a feature on forms.

+1 to this - would love to be able to create sections in my forms in general, instead of making 1 comprehensive and 4 mini forms

Great news — Airtable’s new interface forms now allow for the creation of sections/groups! 😃

However, for even more design flexibility with your forms — including sections, text headers, and multi-page forms — I would strongly recommend checking out Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records from a form, display Airtable lookup fields & Airtable rollup fields & Airtable attachments & formulas on forms, conditionally & dynamically filter which linked records can be chosen, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, accept payments on forms, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, create new linked records on a form, display as many fields as you want to see in a linked record selection list (including attachment fields), connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously, limit the number of linked records that can be chosen, upload an unlimited amount of attachments simultaneously, add CAPTCHAs to your form, add choice matrixes to your forms, integrate Google Maps onto your forms, and so much more.

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable and supports the creation of section headers with added options like descriptions, default behaviors, or even hiding the entire section if the first field is hidden.

You can also display the sections as pages:
