While creating a classic form, you can select the record type in which all the records will get created when visitors/prospects fill the form.
To select a record type in a classic form,
Choose the record type from the ‘Select lead/contact type’ dropdown (based on the record being created)
The default selection will be the default record type. However, the user can select any other editable or read-only record type.
Based on the record type chosen, the fields that appear in the webform will change. For example, a 'vendor' record type can have a different set of fields compared to a 'customer' record type. The field properties will also differ. For example, the 'customer' record type can have the 'first name' as a mandatory/required field, while the 'vendor' record type can have the first name as a non-required field.
