Ungroup Form Fields

These instructions can also be used to create a form field at both the Form Document tab of the assembly window and in HotDocs Filler.

When fields are grouped, you cannot modify the individual fields. You must first ungroup the fields.

To ungroup the fields

1. Edit a form template. (See Edit a Form Template.)
2. Select one of the grouped fields. The whole group is selected. (See Select a Field.)
3. Click Ungroup (Field menu). (You can also right-click on the field and choose Ungroup from the shortcut menu.)

Some properties that were assigned to the group, such as text, margin, and line format properties remain applied to the individual fields that made up the group. Other properties, such as a field order or a condition, are lost until you regroup the fields. Regrouping the fields restores the properties that were previously applied to the group.

Properties of a table, including the name of the repeated dialog, are attached to the first field in a table. Because of this, you should not delete the first field in the group before you regroup the fields. Also, do not close the form before you regroup the fields. If you do either of these things, these properties are lost.
