Add a Custom Data Category

Use a data category when your forms have fields outside the defaults, or when the same kind of field appears under different labels.

FieldMeaning
CategoryWhat kind of field this is (e.g. Phone Number, Company Size).
ValueWhat FormTester should fill in.
Matching labelsForm field labels that should use this value. List as many as you need, separated by commas. Label matching is not case-sensitive.

​Steps

  1. Go to Settings → Test Data.

  2. Under Add new data category, enter:

    • Category — e.g. Company Size

    • Value — e.g. 50-100

    • Matching labels — e.g. Company size, Number of employees, Headcount, Team size

  3. Click Add category.

The category appears under My categories, with matching labels shown as tags. You can change its value later and save like a default override.

Example

FieldExample
CategoryReferral Source
ValueOrganic search
Matching labelsHow did you hear about us, Referral source, Lead source

​Prefer labels as they appear on the form. Include common variants so wording differences still match. Label matching is not case-sensitive.
