Baserow forms - is it possible to have multiple fields on one line? I have some long forms, and when I use them in a Baserow application with the form URL in an iFrame element, the iFrame element is limited to a height of 2,000 px, which is too short for my long form. Thoughts/suggestions??? Thank you in advance!
Good morning @SpaceTimeConverter,
Baserow forms - is it possible to have multiple fields on one line?
It is indeed, an easy way is if you add a “column” element inside your form, then you can add a data input into each column:
The elements are nested like so:
Would that work for you?

Okay, I just tried that approach, and it works in terms of being able to create ‘Data Input’ elements in each of the columns. However, I was hoping to have the page and elements of the page connected to a Baserow table for data input, with fields in the form mapped to fields in the Baserow table. Maybe I’m missing something in terms of setting up the data connection??? I added a ‘Data Source’ for the application page, but the available options don’t seem to be set up for data entry, rather for retrieving data? I guess another option, using your suggestion of the layout with multiple columns would be to have each column contain an iFrame with a different URL linking to a database table form view for a subset of the data in the whole table, and then, after the user has submitted data in each of the 3 column iFrame forms, merge the data from those 3 tables into one table, comparable in structure to the whole table that I was originally trying to have one form for data entry, but was running into the 2,000 px height size limitation of the iFrame element. Or, am I still missing something, i.e. a different approach? I was able to create a ‘Fillout’ form that has a nice multi-field per line layout, that fits all of my table fields in a 2,000 px height iFrame. I was just hoping to have this capability supported within Baserow. I know the Baserow team will continue to enhance the platform, so might be supported with some future update. Thanks again for your suggestions and feedback!
Thank you for this information! I’ll give it a try.
