Yes, there is a way to adjust the tab order for fields in a form on Webflow. By default, the tab order is determined by the order of the fields in your form structure. However, you can customize the tab order by following these steps:

  1. Open the Webflow Designer and navigate to the page where your form is located.
  2. Select the form element you want to adjust the tab order for.
  3. In the right-hand properties panel, click on the "Settings" tab.
  4. Scroll down to the "Tab index" section, and you'll see a field labeled "Tab index."
  5. Enter a number to assign the tab order to this form field. Fields with a lower tab index number will be navigated to first, followed by fields with higher numbers.
  6. Repeat steps 2-5 for each form field you want to adjust the tab order for.
  7. Preview and test your form to ensure the tab order is working as expected.

It's important to note that tab index only works within the same form. If you have multiple forms on a page, you'll need to use separate tab indices for each form. Additionally, make sure to assign unique tab index values to each form field to avoid conflicts in the tab order.

By adjusting the tab order for fields in a form on Webflow, you can enhance the user experience and make it easier for visitors to navigate and fill out your forms efficiently.
