Feature Request - Form Input Validation (email)

Other platforms allow form creator to set certain form vaildation criteria that must be met in order to advance.  We’re trying to use Typeform for lead capture and want to block personal emails (gmail, outlook, hotmail etc)The only thing I’ve found is using logic to reroute those users - but that is not the experience we want. We want an warning to pop up saying they must use a work email. Tally does this

Please add ability to change form placeholders

Yet another cry to add this super simple feature: editing placeholders for form fields  As a software engineer myself I know how stupid easy this would be to do. Need this feature to consider Typeform a long-term solution or else we are going to need to migrate elsewhere. Can you please get your head of product and send them a screenshot of this please? Tell them I’ll even help code it for them and work with their QA team. Just give me access to the code base and a feature branch  Thanks,Andrew

Email verification as a necessary condition for submitting forms

Hello everyone,We are having more and more problems with spam, like probably all Typeform customers. We are therefore urgently seeking a solution that only allows existing emails to be accepted in the forms. How can this be done with Typeform or by when can you implement it?Furthermore, it would be very important that it is easy to define domains from which no emails are accepted (gmail etc.) without having to incorporate complex logic. We only want to accept existing business email addresses and nothing else.Thanks

Delete step while in the Logic screen

If we have to remove obsolete questions, we first put them off the happy path in the Logic screen. These questions have no incoming branch. Once we test the survey, we can proceed with removing these questions.Issue: There is no delete option on the steps in the Logic screen.Current delete method: We have to switch to the Content screen. When in the content screen, it’s not easy to to tell if we are going to delete the same question that we identified in the Logic screen (trust me, it’s scary!). I have to switch between the Content and Logic screen multiple times just to make sure I am deleting the right one.Ask: Provide delete (trash icon) functionality on each of the steps in the Logic screen, so the user can remove that content while in that Logic screen itself without having to switch to the Content screen.

Session ID and Google Sheet ID

If a Typeform is linked to a google sheet, how can we retrieve the google sheet id in Typeform?Can we have a unique ID for each typeform runtime?Like a session id that's unique among all users and all surveys for that Typeform account.For example, if a same user fills up the same survey form multiple times (maybe concurrently), there should be an ID to differentiate them. The session ID is more reliable than Submitted Date.The session id can be generated when the form is load and persisted on submissionBusiness Case 1:On Typeform submission, the typeform should provide the session_id in a out-of-the box defined variable that a 3rd party application can later use to query the submitted survey dataBusiness Case 2:For a Typeform that is linked to a google sheet, the typeform should provide an out-of-the-box field that holds the google sheet_idExample:After a user submits a Typeform, the end screen can redirect the user to a link sayacme.com/survey?session_id=abcjd235&sheet_id=42325The

Empty variables populate differently depending on whether used in follow up or redirect URL

I’m using variables to create the redirect URL and also add a link in the follow up emails.However, empty variables are populated differently in these two use cases which is causing problems for the dynamic content on the destination page.In the redirect, empty variables populate as _____In the follow up email URL, empty variables populate as [Not asked] I would like both to function the same way, ideally to populate empty variables as [Not asked], if indeed the question has not been asked.

Choices for Dropdown list

https://www.typeform.com/help/a/dropdown-question-360037943011/ Q1. How can I add a choice that shows different UI and backend values? (like the way we can do in HTML dropdown control). For example, show Red/Green/Yellow on the front end, but save the RGB values in the backend. Can we save both front end and back end values as separate fields to the Typeform Responses table?Q2. For my user case, each member can have a different list of choices. If the list of choices are separated by a delimiter (comma), and if a hidden field capture this list, can this hidden field be the source of the dropdown?If not, can you please add the functionality of using a field (hidden or user defined field) as source for dropdown? and in which format should the field value be, so that the Typeform can parse each option? Additionally, how to define a value presented in the UI versus the backend value?

Decrypt URL parameters

From the https://www.typeform.com/help/a/using-hidden-fields-360052676612/I understand that ‘hidden fields’ are just placeholders to parse and save the Query Parameters.(I wish they were referred as ‘URL Query fields’! A hidden field is technically a field that would be in the html content but not be rendered on the UI)Requirement: Decrypt a query parameter valueBusiness Justification: We pass sensitive information such as ClientID, first name and last name (say). While each member would get the url specifically crafted for him/her, it’s easy for the member to tamper the url and fill our the survey for another member.Example:https://tutorials.typeform.com/to/abc#clientinfo=asfoillwil23laisdA hidden field 'clientinfo' would hold the value 'asfoillwil23laisd'Now, I want to be able to decrypt the value into discrete user defined fields suchclient_id=423232first_name=Johnlast_name=SmithAll I need is decrypt and substring functions built into TypeFormclientinfo_decrypted=Decrypt(client_id,

Insights and Summary

Under the Results tab -> Insights and Summary, the data is aggregated based on all views and responses from all users.Question: Can the Insights/Summary shows stats based for a given survey member?Requirement: We want to see how the a given survey end user response (numeric) have changed over time Design:Let's say the developer defines the key columns (email_id or first_name and last_name) that identifies a specific userA drop down would let the developer select all or a given survey userThe stats should then show the total views/submissions for that member.Another drop down to filter any column of type DateTime to filter by dates. Here we could filter by Submitted DateA way to define one or more charts and the fields for eachI replicated the design in Google spreadshet as below, in the sheet 'Score' I have all the raw data.In the sheet 'Chart' (shown here), the drop down at the top shows the unique emailIDs from from the first sheet. A function would only display the rows from Scor

Multiple answer fields within one question + a Text box and numerical answer field

Hi team,as good as typeform is especially with user friendly. It could use several quality of life changes. For example, an option to create a question and allow for multiple answers rather than using logic / question group will GO A LONG WAY. Trust me. This saves time on surveyors and respondents end too! I am so not sure why this isn’t there and not implemented on the platform yet.Additionally, I want to add a question which asks the top 5 age groups and provide the percentages of these age groups? I could create 5 multiple choice with multiple selection option but it would be nice to have an option to add a text field with these multiple choices too. Best RegardsA.

AI Translation: Questions about particular aspects of the design.

Question about your AI Translations. I understand that this feature is in Beta, but I wanted to get a clearer idea of what's happening before implementing on our end. Here's some questions I'd love to have the answers to:It seems like the translation is being done on-the-fly each time: will the translations themselves be consistent across users for any given language? (i.e. if a person takes the survey in AI-translated Spanish today, will another user who takes the survey in Spanish next week have the same translation for their survey - provided no changes have been made to the original English version?) If there are individual terms or words we'd like translated using a particular word or phrase is there a way to do that manually? Is it possible from the survey data itself to ascertain whether someone filled out their form using AI Translation? Does the survey data itself show what language someone used to fill out their survey (i.e. an additional "language" column)? Separately, is
