This article provides information about how to add and configure a Mirror Field, how it looks on mobile, and which fields can be mirrored.
Mirror Fields
Admins and Designers can use Mirror fields to save their user's time backtracking through the form to reference information captured earlier in the form.
Add a Mirror field
To add a new Mirror field in the Advanced Form Builder:
- On the right side of the Forms page, in line with the form you wish to edit, click Edit.
- Add a Mirror field using your preferred method and Label the field clearly.
- Select the field to open Field Settings in the left panel.
- Expand Mirror Field and select the field from earlier in the form that will be reflected here.
- In the upper-right corner of the Builder, click Save, then Test the field, and click Publish and Assign to users.
