My form has a text field in which the user can type the name of a product.
Later in the form, I would like to use that typed name inside a field label, to get a precise question, like :
"How was your experience using <product name> ?"
I made some attempts. With a text field name {myTextField}, I tried to insert {myTextField:text} in the later field label.
"How was your experience using {myTextField:text} ?"
But it did not work...
Would there be some way of achieving this ?
Thanks

You cannot use the value of one field in the label of another field, as this would prevent our system from correctly collecting form responses from such a variable field - our system needs the label of a field to be stable/constant.
However, you can use the tags inside regular Text fields, where simply using a tag such as {myTextField} would display the value of your field named myTextField. What this means is that you can add a Text field above the question, and present your variable / customized question that way.
Please take a look at the following demo form:

In the demo above, the tag of the first field is {yourFavorite}, so all we needed to do is use {yourFavorite} in our message on the Text field:
