What field width is and why it matters
Field width is a layout setting that defines how wide a field appears inside your form. Instead of every question taking a full line, you can arrange related fields next to each other in a single row.
This is important because it helps you:
Reduce the visual length of forms and make them feel faster to complete.
Group related questions in a logical and readable way.
Create a modern, professional layout similar to real applications.
Improve completion rates by avoiding long vertical scrolling.
Field width works across most common field types, so you can use it consistently throughout your workflows.
