The Custom field type is the platform's escape hatch — render any HTML/JS you want inside the form. Use it when none of the 49 other field types fits, or when you need a custom widget tied to a JavaScript library.
Conditional options
- Custom Code (Required) — the HTML/JS to render in place of a standard input.
- Hide Field Label? — if this option is enabled, only the custom HTML code you enter will be shown as part of this field and the field label displaying the Friendly Name will be hidden.
Storing values
The Custom field doesn't have a built-in storage mechanism — you write JavaScript that pushes the user's chosen value into a hidden form input (or sets it via the AM form API) at submission time. The platform stores whatever ends up in that input.
When to use this
- Bespoke widgets like rating slidersrange filters that need a specific library.
- Complex visualisations the user interacts with to choose a value.
- Embedded third-party form components that need a hosting div + script.
