Form field descriptions

Platform discussions

Is there a way to collapse the form field descriptions? I would like the ability to collapse the form field description or it show up in an 'i’nformation bubble. Otherwise, the descriptions can be quite lengthy and causes the user to scroll. I like the user to choose whether they need to see the explanation/description on the field.

Hey @DeeMc

The monday form description supports HTML, allowing you to create a collapsible description with HTML and CSS.

In addition to supporting HTML in the form description, our monday form builder app Easyform supports this in the description of each question in the form, as well as on the Thank you page.

A code example:

<body>
    <details style="margin: 10px 0; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-radius: 4px;">
        <summary style="font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer;">Description</summary>
        <p>
            This is a collapsible description. You can include any HTML content here, such as text, images, or links. 
            The content will be hidden until the user clicks on the "Description" summary above.
        </p>
        <p>
            Additional content can be added here. This is useful for long descriptions that you want to keep hidden by default.
        </p>
    </details>
</body>

Will result in:
Collapsible description

If you are interested in creating styled forms that better match your brand and embed perfectly on your web page, you can check out our monday app Easyform and our extensive documentation site .

Thank you Nachliel! I wish I can access the Easyform app, but unfortunately our company does not allow 3rd party apps or it has to go through our security team for approval.

Is the HTML code for Easyform? As I do not see a place where I can do it via HTML

Hey @DeeMc

You can use the regular description box, but the issue with monday is that they limit the size of the description, leading to the form looking like this:
