    Other than the field label is there a way to add a short field description to the display in the IOS versions? The field label is not usually enough for my purposes.

    Hi Leo,

    You could add a Section Heading field above another field to give a longer description. That’s what other customers have done that I’ve seen.

    Thanks,

    FYI I tried something else and it seems to work fine. Instead of making a new Section Heading for each field I simply name the filed with the description included. While this makes for a very long field name it seems TF handles it fine and it makes for a cleaner entry screen. One interesting thing I discovered is that when I changed the field names any calculation fields automatically updated with the proper field names.

    Also when I pasted the field names in they came across with carriage returns which made for an even cleaner form. Speaking of CRs, how can I enter one in a form title?

    The attached image shows the new field names in red.

    Hi Leo,

    You can’t add a carriage return to a form name because the field in iOS to accept the form name is a UITextField which inherently doesn’t accept carriage returns.

    Thanks,

    Sorry, not Form name, I meant Field names.
