Hey,
I’ve set-up a rather long form, and I’d like to divide it and give an explanation in that division. For instance, a section header:
“Tell us about yourself” and then a short paragraph below:
The next few questions ask about your name and your job. Fill them in for yourself and anyone in your group who is coming. The form gives space for four people and another spot to add even more if needed. Once you’ve given the names of all the people in your group, skip to “Your Preferences” below.
Is there a way to do something like this?

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.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld

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:
