Select certain form field types

Post by adameworks »

Is there a way to only select/exclude a certain type of form field in a document for editing properties? For example, select all Text fields only so I can apply a 12pt font. Or I want to apply some formatting to every field EXCEPT Check Boxes.

Hello adameworks,

The quickest way I can think of is to open the "Fields" pane in the Editor and do your selection of those fields in there:

Thanks for that tip. Would it be possible to add a filter option to that pane? It would certainly help with long documents containing a wide variety of field types.

Hello, adameworks

We can certinaly consider it. I have created a formaly Feature request for our Dev team to review when they get a chance.

#5835: Fields pane, add "Select > field type" option.

Kind regards,
