Hi @a)planmax happy to hear from you! I’m afraid there isn’t a way to adjust this number. Do you mind sharing a bit more about your use case for this? That will help me see if I can think of any other workarounds. :grin:

Hey @Liz!

 

The form is saying it will take about 3 minutes to complete. 
 

We would like it to say 5 minutes there is quite a bit to read and if someone reads through it, it will take at least 5 minutes. 
 

I know the easy was is just to type out how long it will take but I like how it looks when it says the calculated about of time. 
 

i tried changing a couple of my short answer questions to long answers and it jumped from 3 to 7 but I couldn’t figure out how to get that happy medium.

Hi @a)planmax Ah got it - thank you! This makes sense. I’ll share this with our product team, and if you think of any other suggestions or use cases, please let me know!

Hi!  Is there a way to input a number for the calculated time.  We have linked 2 typeforms and the time is much longer than shown,  this is creating survey respondents to drop away.  They think it takes around 7 minutes and it actually takes 25.  Can we input 25+ minutes.  

 

Thank you, Lisa

Hi @Lisa Pavia It isn’t possible to manually input the time it will take to complete a form, but I can share this suggestion with the product team.
