Forms were updated?

Starting on Monday I noticed that Smartsheets forms had an overhaul. I'm assuming this is Smartsheets-wide change?

We have some issues with it, like not being able to select dropdown values with TAB or SPACE key anymore.

And forms are rather large - need to zoom out the page for comfortable viewing.

But the biggest issue right now is not being able to hit the back button to have fields pre-filled with last submitted values, as was the case before. I noticed in the documentation it's saying this should still be the case. Is this an intended change? or a bug?

This is due to a recent release of more modern forms.

The Smartsheet team is aware of the issue and is working on a solution.

I hope that helps!

I agree with Lindsay……the forms are rather large - need to zoom out the page for comfortable viewing.
Is this something that will be addressed?

Hello, I would also like to ask that the size be addressed. Not only do I see far fewer fields at one time, I can only see 3 or 4 options in the dropdowns, where I used to be able to see almost all of them with minimal scrolling. This has had a very negative impact on filling out the forms.

Not to mention, I used to just be able to copy/paste phone numbers, but now I have to select a country first. It's adding minutes to each submission when I do 100 a day, it adds up.
