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”](https://community.fibery.io/t/filters-aren-t-applied-because-they-have-missing-dynamic-values/4560). 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](https://community.fibery.io/t/allow-collection-fields-in-a-button-user-input-form-to-have-default-values-prepopulated/6024)
- [Action buttons to trigger form input](https://community.fibery.io/t/action-buttons-to-trigger-form-input/4370)
- [Form View, set default date to today](https://community.fibery.io/t/form-view-set-default-date-to-today/5126) 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.
