FORMS 1.0 - Add Instructions on a Form Field

You can add a tool tip or instruction to a field on your Marketo form so that users have more information about what you are asking them to input.

1. Select a form and click on Edit Form.

2. Select the field you want to add an instruction to.

3. Under Form Properties, Field Specific, enter the Instructions.

Awesome work! Now when a lead hovers the cursor over the form field, the tool tip or instructions will be displayed.

Make sure to approve the landing page that this form is on so the changes are live.

You can use "hint text" in Forms 2.0.

We are. This was the first helpful post I could find. We are trying to use the hover (Instruction field) text for check box fields. Do you know if that is possible? When testng it, it does not show the instructions when hovering over the check box text.

It is possible; you have to use a bit of JS. If you post a thread to Products​ and link back here I'll answer it there.

@Sanford Whiteman​ Hi Sanford. I work with Jana.  We are actually on Forms 2.0. When we put in the hint text for the checkbox, it doesn't work.
