Free-text fields let you capture additional information in bookings or forms. You can configure these fields in the backend and then display them in forms.

Set Up a Free-Text Field

  1. Log in with a user account that has the required administrator permissions.
  2. Open the settings for free-text fields, for example in the “Layout” section or in the administrator settings.
  3. Create a new free-text field.
  4. Enter a field name.
  5. Optionally add a description.
  6. Select the appropriate field type, such as text field, text area, or dropdown.
  7. Save the settings.

Use a Free-Text Field in a Form

In the form, you can display the free-text field using a placeholder. Replace feldname with the actual name of the free-text field:

{$freitext["feldname"]}

Then check in a preview or test booking whether the field is displayed and populated correctly.
