We used to create the form layout by adding fields in the fields table in the doctype.
If we need to structure the fields in separate columns, sections or tabs(since v14) we used to add a Column Break/Section/Tab Break. It is difficult to visualize how the form will look you have to save the doc and check and if something doesn’t look good again edit the fields table.
Now using Form Builder all these problems are solved.
Form Builder is in the develop branch it will be released in v15.
I just hope it will be backward compatible so that we can move our apps in older version (v13 & v14) to the newer one with Form Builder without any reprogramming.
Thanks. A question. Will the section after the last Tab be displayed or user has to click the last Tab to view any section after it. Currently, this is the behaviour. I had raised it earlier on the forum. Would be great if the sections after last Tab are displayed as default.
What I have noticed, on a single doctype, if you use the "set only once’ attribute on a field, the field is displayed on the form builder form, but not on the actual form.
Apart from that, it is very impressive.
In Customize Form, you can only move around custom fields, that’s how it works. If you need to add a column break between standard fields I have added a “move fields below this to new column” button on the fields and similarly move button on a column to move to a new section and on a section to move to a new tab
Moving standard fields PR is already opened after that this move button can be removed or will keep it if it makes sense
I can move a standard form to a new column but the column cannot be moved once created.
Here I guess you are not in Customize Form, You can move around Tabs/Sections/Columns/Fields. Maybe add a gif so that I can understand what is the issue.
If I create a standard form field duplicate by accident it cannot be deleted, only hidden.
