Chris MedeirosParticipantHello Fellow Tap Forms Users!
Does Tap Forms allow text fields to be rotated in custom Layouts? If not, can that feature request be added to the list?

BrendanKeymasterHi Chris,
It does not, but it’s something I’d like to add for a future update.
Thanks,
Brendan

Chris MedeirosParticipantOkay. Thanks Brendan.
It’s not the end of the world. For my application, I just need some random text boxes rotated 90˚. So I can create the sideways text in Pages and then insert it into my Tap Forms layout as a pic. However, the ability to rotate a field and its title would be nice.
Take care and thanks for your continued work on Tap Forms!

Andrew HuntParticipantHi Brendan
I love my Tap Forms and I updated to Tap Forms Pro but I’m disappointed that we still can’t rotate fields in our custom layouts. This thread is over four years old and I’m wondering if I’m ever going to have the ability…. Do you think it’s something you will instigate in the near future?Best regards, Andrew

BrendanKeymasterHi Andrew,
I’m very sorry for not having adding this feature yet. I have only ever had this one request to add it, so it didn’t seem like a particularly popular feature request. If I can dig into it at some point I will add to it. Sorry for being a bit non-committal though.
Thanks,
Brendan

Andrew HuntParticipantHi Brendan
I completely understand although how strange that there have only ever been two people that have asked for this feature. I basically have a luggage tag that I would love to have the label in portrait mode rather than landscape but the Avery labels are in landscape mode hence why I would need to rotate the fields. Do you know of another way to get around this problem within Tap Forms. I used to use Belight’s Labels and Addresses but they discontinued the programme which is how I found Tap Forms.
Best regardsAndrew
