Ability to see the field numbers in the Build mode.

Hi There

Jotform rocks!

Having said that, there are a couple of things that I think would improve it out of sight. Of course, I could be doing it wrong

1. Ability to see field numbers in the build window.

For the past few weeks, I have been building a long and complex form with hundreds of fields, widgets and LOTS of conditional logic. 

It would be great to be able to see the field numbers when working in the build window. The field numbers are shown on the conditional logic list so the information is already there it just needs to be shown on the build window.

This would make planning conditional logic so much faster and easier. 

If it is not possible can it be added to the feature request roadmap please?

Cheers

Thank you for your feedback. I forwarded this to our backend team as a feature request. You will be notified here when there is an update.

Meanwhile, let me try if we can help you with custom CSS code. I will give it a try and get back to you.

Thanks Andrew.

Field numbers are the key to everything.  They should be shown everywhere (including the duplication dropdown after selecting multiple fields).

I will be over the moon if you can help without having to enter CSS code into every field.  There are hundreds of fields on my form.   

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Cheers

Marcus

Could you please try the CSS code below? But, do note that the field number starts from 1 after each Page Break.

.form-all {

  counter-reset: item;

}

.form-line:before{

    counter-increment: item;

    content: counter(item, decimal);

    left : 0;

    top : 12px;

    position : absolute;

    font-weight : bold;

}

Thanks Andrew.

I will give it a go.

Does that also mean all the fields in the conditional logic section will start at zero after each page break?

That would work if you could divide/organise conditional logic according to page breaks. 

Thanks Andrew.

I pasted the code into CSS and it shows the field numbers by page, restarting after each page break as you said they would but they don't match with field numbers in conditional logic, so they have no bearing to anything else.

Do you reckon it is possible to show actual field numbers that match the logic section using CSS?  

I'll send you a dollar if you can make it happen.

Do note that the numbers on the Build mode have no relation with the numbers you see in the Conditions page. They are not linked in any way as the numbers on Build mode are generated manually.

I already forwarded a feature request to our backend team. We will notify you as soon as we get an update.

Thank you
