HomeNew Update to the Form Builder
The version 2.4 is now available. It will replace the current version of the Form Builder in a few days, when we are confident it is stable and reliable. For now you can use either version, the old one being the default.
This is an opportunity for us to let you play with it, get your feedback and unearth any bug that may have slipped through.
Here are the new features and bug fixes:
- Improved form outline, with better handling of the drag & drop functionality and a new visual style that provides more information about questions and sections.
- The ‘duplicate’ option has been moved from the properties tab to the outline. Simply drag & drop the desired form elements to duplicate them.
- New questions and sections can now be inserted anywhere in the form by selecting first an existing item in the outline. The new element is inserted after the selection.
- You now get a warning if you try to leave the Form Builder without saving your web form (this feature is not supported in the Opera browser).
- Support for Opera 9.10 and Safari 2 (a few bugs remain in Safari).
- Fixed a bug that was gradually slowing down the application.
- Fixed a bug where the ‘required’ validation option had no effect when applied to sections.
The next version to the Form Builder will be a major update (v3.0) and should be available sometimes in late March. There are a number of nice functionalities coming, like calculation fields, improved conditional sections and fine control over the layout of the form.
As always, your feedback is very much appreciated, so feel free to leave a comment below or post in the forums.
