It would be extremely helpful to be able to add a data table to a form. I need to be able to ask users to provide details about, for example, grazing in multiple paddocks. My table would look like this:

Column 1 Header: Paddock No.

Column 2 Header: Crop Type

Column 3 Header: Area

Bringing rich layout controls is something we plan to address. We're currently in the design phase so your comments and use-cases are very helpful to review. When we get closer to this idea becoming a reality, we'll plan to update the status here.

    Please offer an input table on a form.

    100% agreed - we have teams that complete audits on site, and it would be supremely helpful to allow them to add values into a grid format. Each site has different items we need to audit, and this would make the process 10x easier.

    I would love to see some ability to create calculations within some of the table fields as well. .pdf tables allow for a few calculations and this is really helpful. Maybe having the ability to embed a sheet into a formโ€”this way, you can have all of the functionality of a sheet, but in the form!

    I want a user to be able to fill in a table easily/cleanly instead of pages of form questions. It's ok to have to set up columns for every cell, but it needs to be easier for data entry on the form

    Something as simple as a grid that includes the assigned task in one box and the due date in the next?

    We definitely need this for adding multiple people/entity's contact information! Our legal department has to verify entities and is relying on 1) an excel sheet being attached to the intake form or 2) the DBAs and Corporate Entity Names to be listed in the same order to match up.

    We have multiple other use cases where a table insert would be so beneficial.

    Please advise the status.

  • A table element would help greatly with formatting fields on the form. For example, we have several forms where we have the user enter the current value and a new value; however, because we cannot put those fields side by side, the form stretches vertically and it is more difficult to visually compare the values when reviewing the form.

    <Table>
    Current Value 1: ____ | New Value 1: _____
    Current Value 2: ____ | New Value 2: _____
    </Table>

    Additionally, a table would allow grouping of related fields for logic purposes. On a few forms, we have a "request type" field and logic that shows several different fields based on the selection. When we set up the logic, we have to select every single field in the "show" parameter. Further, the table would allow stacking of the logic, where one condition would show the table, but another condition could show one field in the table.

    Rule 1: If "Termination", show <Table>
    Rule 2: If Last Day > today, show Party Date

    Request Type: Termination

    <Table>
    Last Day: <date>
    Farewell Party Date: <date>
    </Table>

    (Otherwise, the rules have to be Rule 1 if term, show last day / Rule 2 if term and last day > today, show party dateโ€ฆ which gets exponentially more complicated the more fields involved.)
