Hey guys, I was wondering, like in Airtable, when you create a view you can edit the record view as well. In Fibery the entity view is universal for all views. A workflow that really is limited now are our forms. We would like to create records for all the forms in one DB. But it gets really conf…

[image] helloitse: Example: a new project/client form should be concise and easy for the end user. It may collect Contact, Company, and Project data at the same time. In HubSpot, NetSuite, or Salesforce you would create a single form with questions that map back to all three databases. This …

@Chr1sG - a possible Forms solution for “create-and-link” related entities: In Forms currently, a relation field just shows a dropdown to select an existing entity. Why not add a :heavy_plus_sign: button there to allow the user to create and link a new entity? For a to-many relation, the button co…

[image] Chr1sG: but @YvetteLans ’s examples (onboard a client, gather feedback, request dietary requirements) seem to be three different forms to be used on three different occasions (the data is unconnected and not collected at the same time). Which was why I was digging into why she used a sing…

I understood what you were describing but when you say this: [image] YvetteLans: I only want 1 Form database. it is a statement about what you think the solution should be (i.e. 1 ‘form’ database which is used for all data collection) Whereas I am trying to understand what the underlying n…

[image] Chr1sG: it is a statement about what you think the solution should be (i.e. 1 ‘form’ database which is used for all data collection) Whereas I am trying to understand what the underlying need is, since it may be better solved with a different solution. [image] Chr1sG: Anyway, my …

[image] YvetteLans: We don’t use forms to update existing records at the moment; only to gather information. I get what you mean that you don’t update existing records, and only ‘gather information’ but when you list your use cases, some of them sound like they are used to gather information…

[image] Chr1sG: I am not even sure I could ever fully understand your clients’ needs well enough to be able to determine all the pros and cons of any given workaround :slight_smile: Their needs are really basic :sweat_smile: Example of 3 forms: A review form A feedback form An intake/onboar…

With respect to this: [image] YvetteLans: [image] StevenSkillit: What I mean is 1 database with multiple forms but the entitiy view changes depending on the view. Like in Airtable: [CleanShot 2023-02-05 at 14.09.17] Then you’ll only see the fields that are applicable for the specific fo…

Hey @Chr1sG , Just to add to the conversation, I think @YvetteLans and I are on the same page. We’re looking for one central database to capture all the data from our various forms. Since we don’t use the forms provided by Fibery, we need a system where we can link different types of forms to the co…

I feel like I still don’t understand the root of this issue. The use of a form database is anathema to the Fibery data model, so we should nail down why you (both it seems) feel the need to create one. Putting aside the choice of tool, and without stating a preferred method to achieve it, perhaps y…
