I know form view isn’t on the priority at the moment, but there is a lack of functionality when it comes to user input right now. I thought I could work around the lack of formulas, and relational filters within internal forms with Ask for User Input in buttons. But I just realised that this does not have the ability for Rich Text Input. I can not append description if I am adding a entity from a different database than the one which the button is in.
In general streamlining the way in which we use forms/user inputs to create entities is needed to ensure fully filled entities when created by users, and non-garbage data to be filled in by less-techsavy users.
Compiling different ideas for improvement here:
- Adding Rich Text Input in Button automation (already exists in internal forms).
- “Filters aren’t applied because they have missing ‘𝑥’ dynamic values”. Dynamic Filtering in user input button forms. (Adding to forms as well would also be great.)
- Allow collection fields in a Button User Input Form to have Default Values prepopulated
- Action buttons to trigger form input
- Form View, set default date to today Default dynamic values in forms / internal user input.
This isn’t a single idea or feature, but more of compiling different ideas which could help solve the current problem of lack of functionality when it comes validating user inputs. Dynamic filtering is a great starting point for this.
