Text Field: Numbered list is shown as bullet list

    Asked on October 15, 2017 at 11:34 AM

    In the form I created, there is a great deal of Numbered points, however when I do a preview or test the from, all the numbered bullet points are displayed as bullets rather than the numbers points that it is set as.

    What have I done wrong?

    Thanks for bringing this up to our attention, I can confirm the issue, it looks okay in edit mode:

    However, when the form is previewed, the bullets are shown instead: https://form.jotform.co/72875752326869

    Any updates on this.  Quite important for me with our terms and conditions and its reference number clauses.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, we do not have any updates yet regarding this.

    For the meantime, please try to insert this CSS code to fix the issue:

    .form-html ol {
    list-style-type: decimal;
    }

    Here's a guide on How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes. Here's the result:

    We will let you know via this thread once this issue is resolved.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    It worked for some of the clauses but in one of the sections, in page 4 of the actual form or Preview it goes well until number point 72 and then it starts at numbered point 1 and continues from 1, rather than 73.

    However in the Edit Window it shows and counts correct for the same thing.

    I have looked at the HTML code and it looks correct and I can't see the error.

    It does not work because all the text starting from number 72 is located in a different Text field:

    You need to put all text in one Text field only, if you want to continue with the correct index. Let us know if you have more questions.

    BDAVID, that does not work due to the limitations JotForm has on truncating Text Fields in excess of 65KB.  Please refer to https://www.jotform.com/answers/1273645-Long-email-templates-are-being-truncated#5

    Where you also responded.

    Your assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
