Answers.Text: One note of warning!  We are currently migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10.  Webforms (and Views if you are using them with your forms) created in Drupal 7 will not just port over!! So be careful about getting a head of steam on Webforms that you will need to port when Drupal 7 goes Enf of Life in November this year

Answers.Text: Right, webforms in Drupal 10 are not compatible with Drupal 7 webforms, but Backdrop webforms are a continuation of Drupal 7 webforms.   But I wouldn't start anything new with webforms unless you're sure FormBuilder can't do it.

Comments.Text: We use a lot of forms on our website - but they are all made through the very mature and proven Drupal Webform, along with the equally proven and well supported CiviCRM Webform module.  I am not sure what CMS you are using, but I'd go for that if you are on Drupal until the new Forms and Search kit are where they need to be.  It'll come, but not yet I feel.
  
  Always tell people what versions of Civi and your underlying CMS are - it really helps!
  
  Good luck with CiviCRM - its great :-)

  Welcome to SE!
  
  You should be able to drag the custom fields from the left on to the form and then set relevant options on them.
  
  There are some docs at <https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/the-user-interface/creating-new-forms/> but FormBuilder is evolving rapidly and the documentation may not be completely up to date. There are also a few relevant videos on <https://www.youtube.com/@CiviCRM-project>
  
  You can also ask questions about FormBuilder on the ~FormBuilder channel on <https://chat.civicrm.org>
