In this section, a list will appear with the default fields of the type of form that we will be "creating". What will need to be done?
- Open the "Form fields to customize" dropdown.
- Add new fields to the form by clicking "Add field".
- For each field, enter a title and choose the field type.
Only by entering this section, we will find the start model that is based on the "generic instance", so the fields of "Expose and request" will already appear. We can "hide" them and build fields with our own sections (add field) .
In this section we will also find a button to preview the form we are building, which as we progress will show us how it is looking.
