    Hello @Merowish - Looks like you're using the Short Text Entry (Textbox) for the URL of the Product field.

    If you want users to add more URLs on that field, you should use the Long Text Entry (Textarea) field instead. This should allow users to add as many URLs as they want, depending on how you would set it up.

    In case we misunderstood your question, just get back to us with a bit more info and a clearer description of what you're trying to do so we can better assist you.

    Thanks for the reply.. but actually i want to say that.. on below that "small text box area" i want to add one option like button "Add More Url" it shows just below that text box area. "Add more url" and then when user click on that " Add more url" there should come another text box area for the user to fill there..

    You can add another textbox field in your form and a radio button (single choice) which follows a question to whether add another URL or not. Then create a condition where if the selected choice is yes, the 2nd textbox for URL appears.

    But I think a faster solution is by using an infinite list widget, or a configurable list widget. This way, you are able to allow users to add more information such as URL without setting conditions.

    Here are the widgets suggested:

    Unfortunately, there is no direct solution to add a sub-label on the text field. But you can try adding this CSS code into your widget:

    table#form tbody:after { 
      content: "Text Here"; 
      margin-left: 10px; 
      font-size: 11px;
    }

    How can I allow users to input multiple lines of texts (e Screenshot 30

    Just replace the "Text Here" detail to anything that you wish to have as sub label.

    Thanks for your reply sir :)

    Sir i had recently used this widget https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/infinite_list  but this is little difficult as for user because this widget needs to save the details before submit so normal user could face difficult. so i had changed and Added this widget https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/configurable_list and now it works fine. Here is little help i need from your side sir, I had tried the above method to Add Sub-label in this widget but it does not work on this configurable list widget, And also it does not match the design of the Theme which i'm using. As this widget has the another size of "Text Box" and all fields are different in shape and size so it could not match the current theme, please help me how to make all the "Text Box" look like same, here is something exactly what i want. https://prnt.sc/gupo43

    Please take note that the CSS codes we provide usually come for a specific purpose and layout. For this reason why the code that I had recommended will not work on a different widget, although they are closely the same.

    Here is a CSS code that should work for your configurable list widget (Note: I have added some styles that should allow the select and input fields, including the button to conform to the sizes of other fields in your form):

    table#list tbody:after { 
      content: "Text Here"; 
      margin-left: 10px; 
      font-size: 11px; 
    }

    input{
      line-height: 1.071em;
      font-size: 1em !important;
      border: solid 1px #ccc !important;
      height: 29px;
      border-radius: 0px !important;
      -webkit-border-radius: 0px !important;
    }

    select {
      line-height: 1.071em;
      font-size: 1em !important;
      border: solid 1px #ccc !important;
      height: 35px; 
      -webkit-border-radius: 0px;
      border-radius: 0px;
    }

    button {
      height: 35px;
      -webkit-border-radius: 0px !important;
    }

    On the part of the CSS for input{...}, please add this text:

    width: 265px !important;

    So it will look like this:


    input{
      line-height: 1.071em;
      font-size: 1em !important;
      border: solid 1px #ccc !important;
      height: 28px;
      border-radius: 0px !important;
      -webkit-border-radius: 0px !important;
      width: 265px !important;
    }

    This should expand the width of the textbox.

    If you have additional questions or if you need assistance, please let us know.

        position: relative;
        left: -335px;

    Adjust the width of the input field on your Configurable List Widget so it would fit. Change the width value in px on the previous codes that were given to you by my colleague.

    FROM:

    input {

      line-height: 1.071em;

      font-size: 1em !important;

      border: solid 1px #ccc !important;

      height: 28px;

      border-radius: 0px !important;

      -webkit-border-radius: 0px !important;

      width: 265px !important;

    }

    TO:

    input {

      line-height: 1.071em;

      font-size: 1em !important;

      border: solid 1px #ccc !important;

      height: 28px;

      border-radius: 0px !important;

      -webkit-border-radius: 0px !important;

      width: 220px !important;

    I presume you are responding to the submissions by using the "Reply" or "Forward" button in your Submission Page. 

    1512932758Reply Screenshot 10

    You could just simply use your own email provider when replying to your submissions, to configure that please go to Settings and then click Emails. After that click on Recipients and into Reply-To-Email field write your email.

    In this case clients can reply to your email directly.  I hope this helps.
