    Hi, is it possible to add a text box or some sort of field which has pre defined un editable text in it? It’s for an invoice so I’d like to have my bank details in it without having to type it out everytime. On iOS.

    Hi Harry,

    You could add a Calculation field which does that for you. Calculation fields aren’t editable like other fields.

    So you could have it return Text using a similar formula like this:

    "Bank Name\rStreet Address\rCity, Province, Postal Code\rCountry"

    The \r values tell the Calculation field to put a line break in the result of the formula.

    I realise this quite a basic question. Typing your suggestion didn’t work I had to do a + b fore hand for it to appear in the calculation field. Not sure if that’s right but it seemed to work. However if I just have numbers eg “123456789” it doesn’t show up, why is that?

    It should work.

    Did you set the Result Type to Number?

    I just tested it with only a number in the formula and it worked.

    weird. I can’t get it to work without a + first. And it needed a letter in amongst the numbers to display and then set to text. I chose a space at the end so it wouldn’t notice so + “123456789 “I tried in both the form I’m working in and then a completely separate and new document and that was the only way it t would display numbers. On iOS.
