🧮 Special field types

Some propform fields support alternative formats or autocomplete features in addition to standard input.

> 📖 Fields that perform calculations: You can set up calculations between fields (e.g. “Internal commission = Purchase price × Percentage ÷ 100”) in the “Conditions and Rules” tab using the “Calculate value” action. Full instructions with pipe syntax, field IDs and use cases can be found under Conditions & Rules → Calculations between fields.

## Range Slider as a special field type

Numeric fields (integer or decimal) can be converted into a Range Slider — a scale selection with Min/Max/Interval.

Setup

  1. Add a numeric field to the form (Address or Property)
  2. Select Field Settings → “Special Field” → Range Slider
  3. Default range: 0 to 100, interval 1

Configuration

Under further field settings, you can customise:

Setting Example Effect
Fixed minimum value 0 Slider starts at 0
Fixed maximum value 10 Slider ends at 10
Interval 1 Snaps every 1 step
Data list schlecht;gut 2 labels distributed left/right
Data list with all steps schlecht;1;2;3;4;mittel;6;7;8;9;gut Label at every snap

Use Cases

  • Customer reviews (1–5 or 1–10 stars)
  • Square metre ranges in search forms
  • Selecting number of rooms
  • Satisfaction scales in feedback forms

> 💡 Currently not possible: Additional input field below the slider (e.g. manually typing in an exact square metre value). On the roadmap.

> Note: Range sliders currently only work for numeric fields. Single-select range sliders are planned.

Auto-complete between fields

Fields can automatically complement each other — e.g. a first name field that generates specific suggested values based on the title field.

Setup

  1. In the Form Editor → Select field → Label
  2. Multi-select “Auto-complete”: select other field names from the form
  3. When the source fields are changed, the tag is automatically populated with their values

Use Cases

  • First name field that generates suggestions based on title + surname
  • Search profile description comprising region + property type + price range
  • Email subject field that automatically adds the record reference
