Feature Request: Collection in a Collection

posted on January 16, 2020

I currently have a Form where the customer has requested that they would like a Collection inside a Collection, which is not currently possible in Laserfiche Forms.

You can also not place a Table in a Collection either, which would also be required for this project. 

Or a Section in a Collection and use Field Rules to show/hide the collection.

I have seen that this is something that has previously been requested here and here.

But with these posts being from 2016 and 2015, and it being 2020, has there been any development on this as I feel like i cant be the only user that would like this feature.

This isn't a solution for public forms, but it does work internally.

You can add multiple forms to the same process in order to have nested objects of properties, IE:

Forms:

Cars

Maintenance

Cars would have a collection of Cars with properties Make, Model, Color, etc.

Maintenance would have a collection of Maintenance with properties Dates, Costs, etc.

Now when the user needs to enter maintenance for a specific car, they mark the car and click Continue (Submit Button), the process moves to the Maintenance form, they fill out the info, and click Continue (Submit Button) and the process returns to the Cars form where they can continue to fill out Car info.
