Slider - Form Element

Last updated: June 29, 2026

The Slider Form Element is used to capture from a participant a single numeric value from within a range (e.g. X out of 10).

You must use button transitions on Slider form elements. Auto Transition (transient) functionality is disabled on a section when using a Slider.
