I can't believe this isn't asked more often...any way of using a Form to populate data into a new column, rather than a new row?
Apologies if this has been addressed previously.
Hi Chad,
Unfortunately, it's not possible as far as I know to use forms for anything else than rows.
What is your use case? How would you like to use it?
I hope this helps you!
Have a fantastic day!
Best,

Thanks for reply! ...I want to use it for a few things...
1. Column A would be fixed info (material that is typically used on jobs)
2. Form would be used to simply add quantities to new columns, per project, that correspond to Column A titles.
there are several other examples, but, each could be copied from this format (forms that fill in columns).
I realize I could do this in a row, but, I’d rather do it in columns.
Happy to help!
Can you share something so that I can see it visually and maybe get some ideas on how to set it up?
