Updating an existing field

Change a field when the question, type, or options no longer match how you book. Edits apply everywhere that field is already attached.

Open the field

1. Open Appointments → Catalog → Fields.
2. Click the field name, or open the row menu and choose Update.

The edit form shows the current Details, Required setting, and any type-specific sections.

Change details

1. Update Name if you need a different internal ID. It must stay unique and use only letters, digits, and underscores.
2. Update Label to change what clients read on the booking form.
3. Change Type if the answer should use a different input. See Field types.
4. Edit Description when clients need more help under the label.
5. Turn Required on or off.

Type-specific settings

• Select - edit, reorder, add, or remove choices under Options.

• File - adjust Max file size (MB) and Accepted files under File settings.

If you switch away from Select or File, those extra sections no longer apply to the new type.

Save

1. Click Save.

Hacado keeps you on the field page and confirms that your changes were saved.

Good to know

Changing a field updates every service and add-on that already uses it. Review those attachments if the question or type changes in a big way.
