Feature Request: Custom HTML Field Type in Forms Tables

posted on April 18, 2018 Show version history

As a feature request, I'd like to request that we add custom HTML to the field types available within the available types of columns within a table. 

I will caveat that I am aware how to complete this with JS, but my goal in requesting this is for more out of the box functionality as it would greatly reduce the level of effort and make solutions more portable across multiple forms. 

Use Case: I have a group of lookups which returns raw HTML. If I try to submit with the raw HTML, the form will not allow the submission. I added a custom HTML section within a collection and have the lookup ultimately populate into a div inside the custom HTML per collection. I would like to be able to add custom HTML sections within a table as it has greater readability in this context than a collection.

Could you give a little bit more detail about your use case and what you are doing with the HTML you are returning? We are developing a new rich text field type which allows default and user input and might help you out. Is the only missing piece allowing HTML inside of the table?

That's exactly the issue. I had a couple use cases, one was to make a url. The other was that a lookup I had brought in raw html, and if I tried to submit it would lose all the data entered and get a forms error because of the reserved characters....to solve it I had to make it a collection because that's the only place I could use the custom html section.
