Hello

I am trying to configure a GeoForm to include Help and Hint Text for some of my input variables.  Under the Field configuration in the GeoForm configuration tool, I can select the configuration button next to each of my fields and update the Help and Hint text but it does not seem to save and carry over to the working form.  I also added text for the attachment submission button and that also did not get saved. 

Any suggestions?

Hi Robert,

When you configure the geoform app, try selecting your individual layer in step 3, Layer.

If you do this, are you able to view the hints and help text?

Thanks,

Kelly

Can you share the app and the web map that you are using?

Sure. 

Here is the link to the GeoFrom Application:

GeoForm 

And I added Help and Hint text to the first two variables

And here is the link to the map I am using in the GeoForm

Hi Robert,

I just wanted to update you that I have also submitted a defect for this behavior:

BUG-000098431: Field help text and hints are not displayed if all layers are selected in step 3 of the GeoForm Builder tool.

Best,

Katie
