I'm trying to add a heading / subheading in my Airtable form to separate the different sets of questions. On the Airtable "how to create a form" page, there is this image containing a "subheading" field:

The circled "sub-heading" option doesn't seem to exist anywhere when I'm creating new fields. Am I missing something or did they make a mistake on the Support page?

That photo is misleading because they named a field "subheading"... it's not referring to a subheading for the form.

Airtable’s forms are pretty basic and they do not support groupings, subheadings, headings, or any other styling options at all.

So you would need to turn to an external form app to get what you want:

1. Your #1 best bet is to use Fillout's advanced forms for Airtable, which allows you to add text onto any part of your form, and you can style that text as well. You can make it a header, a subheader, a pargraph, etc.

Fillout is 100% free and 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, dynamically & conditionally filter linked record fields by any values that you would like, 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 attachments), connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously, limit the number of linked records that can be chosen, set advanced field validations & limitations, upload an unlimited amount of attachments simultaneously, add CAPTCHAs to your form, add choice matrixes to your forms, direct integration with hundreds of apps like Calendly & Google Maps on your forms, and so much more. 

2. JotForm is another good option for integrating with Airtable, and it also offers what you are looking for. JotForm has some basic integration with Airtable, but for more advanced integration with Airtable, you would want to send your data from JotForm to Airtable using Make’s JotForm integrations.

3. Cognito Forms is another great form app, and you can send data from Cognito Forms to Airtable using Make’s Cognito Forms integrations.

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 @ruyaae,

Unfortunately you cannot create a heading/subheading in an Airtable form. You can, however, add such layout items by using third-party form providers like Jotform, Cognito Forms or Fillout.

I hope this helps!

@Alessio_Monino That is exactly what I just said above. Please don't copy and paste my solutions for people and pretend that they are your solutions. You have been doing this with several of my posts over the last week.

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable and supports the creation of section headers:
