How to add a Name question

Name is a field built for a person’s full name, not a generic short line. Put it near the top of RSVPs, applications, and intake forms so you know who submitted. People type their name once, and Formms stores it as a name field in Responses.

1. Add it

In Build, click Add a question, then choose Name. See How to add questions.

2. On the form

The field is on the canvas. Question settings opens so you can write the prompt, add hint text, and mark it required.

3. What it is for

People enter their name. Formms treats it as a name field, not a generic short line.

4. Edit and require

Click the field to change the wording. Hover it to duplicate or delete. Required questions show a red asterisk. Optional ones do not.

Pair it with Email when you need to get back to someone.

5. Ask AI

In create a form with AI, describe the form and name this type. On a form you already have, open Chat to Edit (the pencil next to Add a question) and ask in a sentence.

Example:

Add a name question at the top, required.

6. Read the draft

The helper replies with a Draft card. Each field shows its type. Check that Name is in the list. Click Create this form when you want it. Close if you were only trying a prompt. That does not add a form.
