How to customise name field at contact info content

 Hi,

I’m using the Contact info question in my Typeform questionnaire.  I need the Phone number to read “Cell number.”  See the image below.  Is it possible to change this?  I cannot find this option.

Thanks

Hi @georgelintern Thanks for stopping by the community. I added your post here where we have an existing conversation about this. 

Hi Liz,

Thanks for the feedback.  Can you confirm your solution is five separate questions (each being a single short text question)?

Thanks

@georgelintern - you could use the contact question but NOT show the the phone number field (1 question) and then have a second question for cell number by using the Phone Number question type - just make the question text state that you want the cell phone number 

If I can submit some feedback here for Typeform regarding this topic:

This is a consistent issue for me, too, that would easily be resolved if Typeform would give the option to customize the Contact fields. It makes far more sense to have it all on one page.

Additionally, it makes more sense to me to have a “consent” or “opt in” option embedded into the Contact block. More and more regions are starting to require this, and it makes sense to have it AS part of the contact information collection.

And, yes, I do realize I can do separate short-answer text questions for these, allowing me to “customize”. Please do not suggest that as you did for the other contributors. That is the workaround I already use. But it would be very valuable to us Typeform subscribers to have the option to do all of this WITHIN the Contact block, as I said. 

I’d appreciate it if you pass that along to the powers that be. It’s really frustrating constantly having to use “workarounds” for things that seemingly could simply be default features. 

Hi @hbeckwith Oh, I totally agree with you! The upside is that the developers are working on adding this feature, so you’ll have the option to edit the placeholders soon. 😀

When is this feature expected to be available?

Hi @vianations I don’t have the exact date when it will become available, but keep an eye out in the community for updates!

Any word on when this will be available? 

Hi @hbeckwith I don’t have a specific date, but I do know this is something they’re working on!

I tried to do the same and I don’t think it’s currently a possibility yet, am I wrong ?

I’m afraid not, ​@Reemyy , but I will post here when I do have an update!

Have used Typeform for 20 minutes, I enjoy it really much.
But then I realize you can’t edit basic contact info and it makes we want to look for other solutions.

Please bump the priority on this if possible, quite essential for making clean and nice forms.

Thanks for your feedback ​@ltmr211 it’s much appreciated. I’ve passed this on to our Product team now. I’ve been told it’s on their radar to build some additional customization into the blocks in Typeform in the future. For now, one solution they proposed is to use the Multi-Question Page feature in Typeform and cutomize the field names that way. e.g. something like:
 

Some of the helper text can currently be customized to some extent using the Form Settings > Language section.

I hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions as you start to explore the product.

Cheers

James
