i too would like to know as @Paul Newcome mentioned

Thank you again for raising concerns around the recent changes to the Smartsheet form experience. We recognize the disruption this may have caused, especially in tighter layouts, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and feedback as we work through it.

As part of the Modern Forms update released on June 23, we introduced several accessibility improvements. These included larger font sizes and increased spacing to enhance usability for all users, including those with vision impairments. While these changes have significantly improved overall accessibility, they have also introduced challenges in more compact layouts. This includes forms embedded in dashboards and those accessed through mobile browsers.

In these constrained environments, the increased margins and font sizes have reduced the usable space for form descriptions and fields, making the experience more difficult. After hearing feedback from multiple customers and receiving your report during our July 3 sync, we immediately escalated the issue through our support and engineering teams using case ESC 18069. Our team is actively working on a fix that will detect compact viewports and dynamically adjust spacing to better suit these scenarios. This solution is designed to retain our accessibility improvements while restoring usability in tight form layouts. We expect this update to begin rolling out early next week.

We will continue to monitor and refine these updates to ensure a consistent and accessible experience across all form use cases. Your feedback has been instrumental in shaping this work, and we welcome any additional examples or context that may help us further improve the solution.

Good news, thanks for the reply
