A List field lets users repeat a single field as many times as they need, so they can log entries like equipment, hazards, or worker names one at a time instead of you having to guess how many they'll need in advance.
Add a List Field
- Click New Field + inside the Group where you want the list to appear.
- In the New Field window, select the Specialty tab.
- Click List.
- Enter a Field Name for the list, for example Hazards Observed.
- Select the List tab within the field settings.
- Choose the field you want to repeat from the list of available fields.
- Save your changes.
Note: A List field can repeat only one field at a time. Table, Calculation, and Variable fields are not available as options inside a List.
What Happens Next
When someone fills out the form, they see the single field you chose, with a + Add Row button beneath it. Each click adds another instance of that field, so they can log as many entries as they need. There's no limit to the number of rows.
To remove an entry, users click the trash can icon next to that row on the web app, or tap the X icon on mobile. Every row's data is captured as a separate entry when the form is submitted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add more than one field to a List row?
No. A List field repeats a single field only. If you need multiple related fields per row, use a Table field instead, since it supports multiple columns.
Why can't I select a Table, Calculation, or Variable field inside a List?
These field types aren't currently available as List options. If you need to total numbers entered across a List, use a Calculation (List) field alongside it. See our Form Builder: Calculations article for details.
Is there a limit to how many rows someone can add?
No. Users can click + Add Row as many times as they need.
How do users remove a row they've added?
On the web app, they click the trash can icon next to the row. On mobile, the same action uses an X icon instead.
Should I use a List field or a Table field?
Use List when you only need to repeat one field per entry, like adding names one at a time. Use Table when you need multiple related fields per row, like paired measurements or readings.
