Create forms with Excel csv similar to import/export Option Lists.

It would be nice to be able to design forms in excel and import the form all at once as a csv file similar to the ability to do this with Option Lists. We would want to build the form and apply conditional and dynamic logic  to build forms faster than you can currently build them with the table or form view.

  Hi, Darius

  This is something we've been thinking about with our CSV Upload revamp. Be sure to follow along HERE and give us any thoughts you have. Thanks!

  We would also love to have this.  We often build forms with many of the same elements just with a number changed in the element name to hide/show variables based on toggles etc.

  Rope 1

  Rope 2 etc. etc.

  It is very tedious to always have to copy single elements and drag them down to the correct position and update the logic to match the element name in the form view.

  In Excel a quick formula to could achieve this in seconds.

  Lucas, You are using the new form builder correct? It has a cut/paste option in the form builder replacing the old system of having to drag an element. Also, you can just change the sort order of elements in the list view. I have used that when adding a lot of similar elements, renaming them, and moving them around on the form.

  Hi Darius,

  We are still on the classic builder.  But your comment about the list view was very helpful.  Totally forgot about it, thanks.

  But working in Excel, I still think would still be much faster and more efficient.

  There are some key benefits to using excel, especially for quickly inserting conditional and dynamic logic. But transitioning to the new form builder is strongly recommended. It’s 4 times faster for form building than the classic and much easier to navigate and edit.
