Name: This is a technical identifier that is not shown to the user. During modeling in the form editor, it is displayed on the top right of each element.
Description: Use this field to enter descriptive text for the form element in a text editor. This is helpful for documentation purposes.
Most form elements have the attribute:
Label: The content of this attribute will be displayed in the executed form as the element's name.
There are two exceptions:
Grouping: Instead of the label attribute, the grouping element has the field Header. The content of this field will be displayed in the executed form as the header for the grouping section. You can also hide it by disabeling attribute Show Header.
Subform: The subform does not contain a field to display a name, because instead of the subform element the assigned form is shown during execution.

Text Box and Text Area
The elements Text Box and Text Area contain the following attributes:
Text
Placeholder
Max. Length
Text
Content added to attribute Text is shown in the element. If the user does not change the content of the field during form execution, the content of Text will be saved to the database.
Placeholder
The content of this attribute is displayed in the element when attribute Text has not been filled. The placeholder is a sample value, it is not saved to the database. When a user overwrites the placeholder, it disappears and the user's input is saved to attribute Text.
If content is added to both attributes Text and Placeholder, the content of Text is displayed in the element.
Max. Length
The attribute Max. Length allows you to limit the number of characters that can be entered into the input field.
The default value is 0.
If the value is empty or 0, the length of the text that can be entered into the input field has no limit.
For the element Text Box the attribute Validation Note is additionally available:
Validation Note
If a regex is set, the validation for an input field is executed when a button is pressed and the form is submitted. If the validation fails, an error message is displayed beside the input field. The attribute Validation Note allows you to enter a text that will be displayed as error message in case of a failed validation.
