Great form build.</p> <p>I have an issue regarding the placement of the descriptive text when using the advanced field such as name and address. </p> <p>When you view these fields you can see the field title then directly below it the field. though the description of these fields such as street address, city, country etc drop far too low below the field to be correctly related by sight to their corresponding field.</p> <p>Is there a fix to this?</p> <p>kind regards </p>
