Why do newly added fields not show in Abstract Submission form preview?

Last updated Jul 2, 2026

Question

I added new fields like Upload Documents, Background, Objectives, and Methods to the Basic Setup of my abstract program in Dryfta, but they are not showing when I preview the abstract submission form. Where should these fields appear and how do I make sure they are visible?

Answer

After adding new fields to your abstract program's Basic Setup in Dryfta, you need to ensure these fields are published. Unpublished fields will not appear in the abstract submission form preview or for submitters. 

To make the fields visible: 

1. Go to Abstracts & Reviews > Submission Questions

2. Check if the newly added fields are marked as published. If not, publish them. 

3. Then, log in to the event website, navigate to 'My Abstracts,' and start the submission process to see the fields in the form. 

This process ensures that the custom fields are active and visible to users submitting abstracts.
