You can allow respondents on your form to enter their own price value like so:

  1. Navigate to your Price field in the form editor, and configure it using the cog icon appearing on the right.
  2. Locate the option labelled "Question is read only".
  3. Ensure this is toggled to the Off position. If it is toggled to the On position, the field will be displayed but the amount cannot be changed.
