Field Types Reference

This page documents every field type available in the Form Builder. Fields are organized into four categories: Auto-Fill Fields, Text Fields, Choice Fields, and Special Fields.

Auto-Fill Fields (Preset)

Auto-fill fields pull information from the attendee's FeatsClub user profile when they are logged in. If the attendee is not logged in or the profile field is empty, they can enter the information manually. These fields are marked as Recommended in the field type selector.

Name

Collects the attendee's full name.

Property	Value
Input type	Text
Auto-fill source	User profile name
Max length	Standard text limit

When an attendee is logged in and has a name on their profile, this field is pre-populated. They can still edit it before submitting.

Email

Collects the attendee's email address.

Property	Value
Input type	Email (with validation)
Auto-fill source	User profile email
Validation	Must be a valid email format

Phone

Collects the attendee's phone number.

Property	Value

Search	Google Maps Places autocomplete

When the attendee starts typing, address suggestions appear via Google Maps. Selecting a suggestion fills in all address components automatically. The attendee can also enter each component manually.

Membership ID

Lets the attendee select from their purchased memberships with your organization.

Property	Value

This field is useful when you want to link event registration to a specific membership. Only memberships the attendee has purchased from your organization are shown.

The Membership ID field only shows options if the attendee has an active membership with your organization. If they have no memberships, the field will be empty and they cannot select a value.
