   This is just a feature request idea if possible in the next release.
   By default crawlers from Google etc will follow the forms. On our site this causes issues such as duplicated content etc...

   Every time there is a new release from Machform, we go into "/includes/view-functions.php"
   Add the following line: <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /> right after:
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> (A few different spots)
   This fixes the issue and the forms are kept out of search, sitemaps and other areas of our site.

   I guess some users might want the forms crawled and indexed for what ever reason.

   So is it possible to add a setting into "Settings" for Robots, so users can either turn on or turn off robots depending on their needs.
   Example: Follow, Index vs Nofollow, Noindex

   Hope that makes sense.

   Cheers,
   Chris
