You know that feeling when you’re building a form, and you realize you need a custom field?

Before, you had to go through way too many clicks just to add something as simple as a checkbox or dropdown. Not anymore.

HighLevel just dropped Quick Add Custom Fields, and let me tell you—this is a game-changer.

Now, you can drag and drop custom fields directly into your forms. No extra steps. No wasted time. Just boom—done.

Let’s break it down and get you set up in less than 2 minutes.

Also, here´s an interactive tutorial if you want to follow step-by-step by yourself!

What’s New?

✅ Drag-and-Drop Simplicity

Forget digging through settings. You can now drag and drop the following fields straight into your form:
✔️ Radio Select
✔️ Single & Multi Dropdowns
✔️ Checkboxes
✔️ File Uploads
✔️ Single & Multi-Line Textboxes
✔️ Date Picker
✔️ Number & Monetary Fields

🎨 Customization Made Easy

  • Change options for dropdowns, checkboxes, and radio buttons on the fly.
  • Add file input options for uploads.
  • Set a custom field name & unique key (so your data stays clean).

⚡ Faster Workflow = More Productivity

  • Saving your form/survey automatically saves your custom fields, so you can reuse them later.
  • Edit, reorder, or delete field options without breaking your workflow.

🔒 Field Locking for Consistency

  • Once you save your form, the field name & unique key are locked.
  • Need to edit them later? No problem—just go to the Custom Fields section.
