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

Please add this to the list of development ideas

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.

    I have been looking for this for several months. It has been discussed in this forum a few times. I NEED a fillable table to appear in a form to be filled out as part of a grant application process. I have a budget form that needs to auto-calculate and present in a table layout to our customers filling out the form. Currently we need to do a TON of copy pasting of budgets from one form to another and use the document mapping process to build the output format required by our funder. If we could have a table pop up in a form that could be filled in by the client and then displayed in a final report or document as is, without having to make a new document map each quarter, it would change our entire process. This is a HUGE issue for us to the point of supervisors questioning the value of purchasing our Smartsheet licenses.

    It would be nice if there's more formatting feature in form, (e.g. having short questions side by side instead of next line etc). Also make a table format to fill out.

    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 form—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.
