I'd like to customise text fields in my application, but I don't see any options for it. When I click text field, new window opens. And there is no title or description.

But there must be something that allows me to customize it, right? Apple applications contain customised text fields.

Here is my code:

Form {
   //... 
   TextField("", text: $address)
   //...
}

And there is one more problem. After filling this TextField I click enter and it immediately opens the next TextField. I don't want this behaviour.

Forgive me as I'm not super well versed in tvOS. Assuming this is a SwiftUI view, have you tried playing with the methods of such like a VStack and building out your view in that manner?

TextField(text: <String>, prompt: <Text?>, label: <() -> View>)

Form {
   VStack {
       Text("Custom Message Title")
           .font(.title)
       Text("This is your custom message to your user? See what the outcome is with this.")
       TextField("Address", text: $address)
   }
}
