Table in Forms
Peter 4
The ability to create a "table" question type in Forms is a much needed addition. Many of our current forms require a multipart response that is best formatted as a user-fillable table. The responses to this question type could be formatted into an associated Custom Field or even a task Checklist.

Ability to add a Table to a Form
A
Andrzej Konopka
Description of the idea
Added the ability to fill the form in a tabular layout (rows + columns), instead of individual fields one below the other.
For what
Allows you to collect repetitive data in a single form (e.g. clients/employees list, activities, working hours, categories).
It reflects real operational processes (e.g. brigade daily report), where the data naturally has a tabular structure.
Simplifies the user's work — instead of creating multiple forms or entries, everything is in one place.
Why is it important
Increases the quality and consistency of data (input standardization).
Reduces data entry time (operational efficiency).
Facilitates later analysis and reporting (better data structure for dashboards and automations).
Key for use cases: HR, production, logistics, service operations.

We also have need for a table question. For instance, we have to gather the same information about a site type, it's name, and number. Without the table question we have to create a custom field for each individual question and assign a number to it, based on the number of entries that we have to collect. This gets even more complicated when they are listed in a conditional logic view because if someone says that they have 12 sites, we then have to list all of the custom fields for each question and then for each site (1-12). When you have to code the conditional logic for each option (1-12) that adds up to a lot of fields and a lot of coding. It would be a lot easier if we could reference them to a table question.
