The autocomplete attribute enables users to customize the autofill behavior of input fields on the Form. By utilizing the "Input Box Attributes" setting, users can specify the autocomplete attribute for individual Form controls. This provides more precise instructions to the browser on how to autofill those fields.

By default, autocomplete is disabled.


Enable Browser Autofill

To customize autofill behavior for forms, it's crucial to configure your browser's autofill settings. Different browsers may have distinct settings and interfaces for managing autofill preferences. For guidance on adjusting these settings, refer to the specific documentation or help resources each browser provides.


Browser Compatibility

Different browsers may interpret the "autocomplete" attribute differently. Ensure to test it across major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
