# Field types

Three types of fields exist for users to see in the Zap editor:

* Input fields
* Dynamic fields
* Line item groups

## Input fields

Input fields are most commonly used and include 9 types that look and act differently in the Zap editor. Depending on the type, users can either enter plain text data, make a selection or map variables from previous triggers and actions. Zapier does not validate the data to ensure users added the correct item for that field type.

### String

The default input field, which accepts text input. Typically used to gather individual text values such as a name or email address.

## Dynamic fields

<Warning>This feature is only available in the Platform CLI.</Warning>

Dynamic fields make a request to your app's API, showing the returned data in a dropdown menu in live time. Users select the object needed. Typically used for folders, projects, assignees, and other data that would need to be chosen from within your app.

## Line item groups

Line item groups allow users to input line items provided from the trigger or prior action. Those items will then be sent in the request as an array of individual objects. Users cannot input comma separated values into a line item field, they need to be provided from the trigger or a prior action in line item format for them to be sent this way. Typically used to add multiple lines of similar details to an app, for example in invoice and accounting apps.
