Add-on: List Text

List Text is a Gravity Forms add-on that controls the text people type in List Field columns. Add email validation, custom regex validation with your own error message, multiline textareas and placeholder text, per column, in single and multi-column List Fields, without code.

What you can do with List Text

  • Require a valid email address in a column with Enable Email Validation.
  • Check a column against your own regular expression with Enable Custom Validation (RegEx), for example /^\d{5}$/ for exactly five digits, and show a Custom Error Message.
  • Turn a column into a multiline text area with Enable Textarea, and set its height in lines.
  • Show a Placeholder such as “Enter email” while a column is empty.

Each column uses one text option: email validation, regex validation or textarea.
