Hi, so I'm back to create another form (called Perf Review in the stored forms), and I can't seem to get past the fields I've created. Every field (with text box response) I try to put in there, doesn't show up after the ones I already created. I thought maybe I had to go to a page 2, but no, same thing there.
Some of the questions my client wants are several words long. Is this the issue? There didn't seem to be a limit to the length of the sentence on the ones previous.
For instance, I need the question:
Comments on the pet sitter's performance during this particular trip.
Then, a non-required text box for the person to type in their answer.
When I input the field data, it doesn't show up after I save it.
Any help would be great, as I'd like to get this form onto the client's website.
Thanks - CC
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
After noodling with this some more, I found the problem and was able to complete my form. The software doesn't like the use of apostrophes in the field text.
So, if my field required something like:
Please rate the pet sitter's performance:
It wouldn't take it because of the apostrophe in sitter's
But - if I wrote it "Please rate the pet sitters performance:", it would take it just fine, and I was able to finish up the form.

I'm not sure what the problem is but if shorter text works then put in shorter text and make the corrections after the form is finished (download then edit files manually).

You could also try adding the standard escape character like this:
"Please rate the pet sitter\'s performance:"
Otherwise you can still correct it manually after you download it.
