Having hard time moving fields in a form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 776

I have a form that is connected to a SharePoint List. I set the number of columns to 6 in my form. I shorted 3 of my fields in the 2nd row to make room for 2 more fields, which are on the 3rd row. However, I cannot get my fields from row 3 to move up to row 2. I set the X and Y coordinates to correct values. Y is the same value as the others in the row and the X is at the end of the previous field in row 2, but it only wants to move the fields down to the bottom of the form.

    shifting and switching input contros in a form can be pain in the a..

    there is not really a way to achieve this.

     

    when it comes to a scenario like this i never use a form and just throw the labels and the input controls on my screen and use the patch function to save items instead of submitform function

    avoid forms when possible, if you like aesthetics

    The only scenario where you have full control over the order in your form is when u choose wrap count 1 and place the datacards beneath each other. That way you xan have the order as u wish, otherwise its just a pain and will never work

    I figured out what the problem was. I was only using 5 columns, but had overlap with some of the columns, so it was like I had 7 columns, but only had my form set to use 6. When I set the columns to 12, I was able to move fields like I was able to before.
