Steps to Add Description Field in Web Widget

Follow these steps to include a Description field in your Web Widget (Classic) using custom code.

How can I add a Description field to my Web Widget (Classic)?

To add a Description field to your Web Widget (Classic), you need to modify your website's source code. This involves adding a script that customizes the contact form fields.

The script should be placed after the existing widget code and will define both the Subject and Description fields. This customization requires some coding knowledge, and while Zendesk provides the script for instructional purposes, they do not offer support for it. If you run into any issues, you might find solutions by searching online or discussing in community forums.
