    Hello,

    I'm currently trying to clone this form
    https://form.jotform.com/61284988332970

    And when I try to paste my html code into the Options field the text is immediately changed to basic text and my html code is removed.  Can you help?

    I'm trying to create a mutiple choice type poll w/ 10 options. Each option would have a radio button, an image and small link that says "view profile" that would redirect to an external website.

    Thanks!

    Jim

    Kindly note that your form my display text on the back-end but the images you have added to the field are displayed when the form is published.

    Below is a view of your form once published.

    I would recommend that you check your form once you have edited it using preview as shown below:

    Thanks for the response; however, I am not sure I was clear - when I try to edit any of the html that is in the original forms option field...the text immediately removes any html and just shows basic text, rather than the code.  Even when I do preview form - the code (link and images) are no displayed.  Is there a trick to making sure the 'options' field remains editable with html?

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

    Using HTML tags in form fields is not allowed anymore due to security precautions. If you want to add a link into your form you can use our text field. Please check this guide in order to have a better idea about form fields:
