The Form Designer provides advanced functionality such as:
Custom Invalid Messages

Conditional Logic (Visibility of Questions)
Whether or not a question or group of questions should appear based on a previous question’s answer, see our article Showing and Hiding Fields (Visibility) for more information.
Default Value
A static default answer value that the question should have prior to the App User editing it.
Note: Default Value and Dynamic Value are only compatible for use in the same field by using a dynamic value with the VAL() function that references the default value of the field -- e.g, VAL('dataname') will reference the field's default value (with "dataname" being the field's data name in this example).
Calculated Answers (Dynamic Value)
Used if the answer for this question should be populated based on the answer to the previous question(s). See our article Dynamic Answers & Calculations (Dynamic Values) for more information.

Custom Answer Constraints (Custom Validation)
