To ask the user to fill in a web form
Last updated
When you need to elicit more than one piece of information you can use the ask form node type. It is designed for web front-ends. One form can have multiple input fields.
The fields to elicit can be configured as part of the node. In this example we configured three fields of type "Custom". They are required (so can't be skipped, see the little asterisk sign). The other fields (without the asterisk) are optional.
he following parameters can be configured for a form field:
Title
The label for the field
Type
The type of the field determines how the field is validated and stored.
Required
Toggle when the field is required and cannot be skipped.
Remember in user.<var>
Toggle when you want to remember the field in the user object
Only use when the value identifies this user.
Assign to
Fill in with a name of a variable to store the value in
Use primarily when the expected value doesn't identify this user. Like when you are asking for some one elses phone number.
The following types are supported:
First name
The first name of a user
user.first_name
Last name
The last name of a user
user.last_name
The email address (needs to be a valid email format)
user.email
Phone
The phone number (needs to be a valid phone number)
user.phone
Custom
See custom fields
Custom fields can be used for any type of information. It needs more properties to be configured since its behaviour isn't fixed by its type.
At the time of writing their is a non-blocking issue that text fields in embedded fields show as red while they are perfectly fine. It is a known issue and will be fixed.
Title
