| field_type | Yes | Form field type. Authoritative list from BD admin form-field editor, grouped by category:\n\nSELECT FIELDS (user picks from options):\n Checkbox = Checkboxes (multi-select)\n Select = Dropdown list (single-select)\n Radio = Multiple choice radios (single-select)\n YesNo = Yes or No toggle\n\nTEXT INPUTS:\n Custom = Custom HTML injection\n Email = Email address input (validates format)\n HTML = Section title / HTML heading (display-only)\n Button = Submit form button\n Textbox = Single-line text input\n textarea = Multi-line textarea (note: lowercase)\n Url = Website URL input\n\nFANCY FIELDS:\n Date = Calendar date picker\n DateTimeLocal = Calendar date+time picker\n File = File upload\n FroalaEditor = Froala rich text editor (basic)\n FroalaEditorUserUpload = Froala + user image upload\n FroalaEditorUserUploadPreMadeElem = Froala + upload + pre-made elements\n FroalaEditorAdmin = Froala with admin media manager access\n Tip = Help alert box (display-only)\n Hidden = Hidden field (not rendered, stores value)\n Country = Country dropdown\n State = State dropdown\n Number = Integer-only number input\n Password = Password field (masked)\n Phone = Phone number input\n CountryCodePhone = Phone input with country code\n Pricebox = Price input\n ReCaptcha = Google reCAPTCHA security\n HoneyPot = Hidden honeypot (anti-spam)\n Category = Top-level category list\n Years = Year picker\n\nNote on casing: most values are TitleCase but "textarea" is lowercase — copy exact spelling from the enum. For most simple text collection use Textbox; for paragraphs use textarea; for emails use Email so BD validates the format.\n\nFor Checkbox / Select / Radio types, you must also supply the options list via the field_options parameter (if exposed). | |
