A Static Content field type does not render a form field at all. Instead, it renders static web content (HTML) into the form and/or answer pages. This can be useful for things like inserting instructions into Task Forms.
Putting the below text, which is written in Markdown syntax, into the Markdown Source setting on a Static Content task field:
# Instructions
1. **Do not** violate the Prime Directive
2. Never beam down alone
3. Set phasers to stun
4. Report to sickbay on return
Will render nicely-formatted HTML, like the below, in a Task Form.
Instructions¶
- Do not violate the Prime Directive
- Never beam down alone
- Set phasers to stun
- Report to sickbay on return
The Markdown syntax allows someone to design rich-text content by writing in plain-text. To see some of the features, check out this Markdown Cheatsheet
Since the list of choices for this field type are defined within the field config, you must provide them when creating it. In the Choices setting, you must provide a list of options (one on each line).
