    I want to create a list of options and have the person put numbers beside them in priority order. I offer coaching calls at a variety of time and want people to number them in terms of their preference. What field type and what do I need to understand to do this? The form I want to do this on is here:

    Hello BarbaraDecker,

    You can use a Orderable List Widget for this purpose. Your customers will be able to drag options around to order them. The widget is setup like a regular list.

    You can read more on Orderable Lists here: https://www.jotform.com/widgets/orderable-list


    Please don't hesitate to reply if you have any further questions.

    I don’t want them to drag things around. I want them to just enter numbers. These are older women, tech challenged. Is there a way to do this in the way I want to do it? Where they number their prefences?

    You can use the Input Table field, add one column for numbers, and set the Input Type to Numerical Textbox.

    You can also check the Dual ListBox widget.

    I set this up and have one more question.
    See this snippet below.
    I would like to be able to have a question title in bold, maybe larger text – and then have the part that starts with “We are” on another line.
    Is this possible and if so, how? I am not really html literate but did try
    and that didn’t have any impact.
