The Static text field allows you to include instructions or helpful information to guide users through the submission process. You can add multiple fields to your Form for flexibility.

Custom Fields are created in your Suptask account and can be reused across different Forms.

Additional customizations can be done on Fields and Forms, such as what fields that the Requesters can see, like the Priority or Assignee field. Contact to get help with the customizations
