This article provides information about how to use Field Settings to configure a Mirror Field, how it looks on mobile, and which fields can be mirrored.
Admins and Designers can use Mirror fields to allow users to review field values captured earlier in the form.
Note
Mirror fields are only available in the Advanced Form Builder at this time.
Mirror Fields
Mirror Fields eliminate any wasted time backtracking through the form to reference information captured earlier in the form. If you often find yourself flipping back through a paper form to find something you need to know later in the form, a Mirror field is the solution.

- On the right side of the page, in line with the form you wish to edit, click Edit to open the Advanced Form Builder.
- In the center workspace, add a Mirror field using your preferred method.
-
Select the field or, to the right of the field, click the orange triangle to open Field Settings in the left panel.
-
In the Field Settings, expand Mirror Field and select the field that needs to be reflected later in the form.
- At the top-right of the Builder, click Save.
- At the top-right of the Builder, click Test to try out the field in the browser-based mobile form preview.
- At the top-right of the Builder, click Publish and Assign to users.
