Hi, 

As of now, when one creates a New View, the 'View based on' Dropdown only lists the Normal Forms. 

Most questionnaires, algorithmic surveys need a large number of entries/fields[~50 ], it is often necessary to do it via stateless forms.

Creating a view to store the 'added records' is again a huge task. I understand that, copying and pasting the 'form definition'/script from the stateless form to the new Normal Form with its auto-generated view, can facilitate the task, but is not always easy.  

Giving the user the option of creating new Views 'based on' stateless forms would be extremely helpful. 

I understand that the Views are Linked to Normal [Submit] Forms. If you prefer not to create such 'unlinked views', a corresponding Form could be auto-generated on the creation of such a 'Stateless View'. 

A lot of applications are survey oriented/rather than data storage/number-crunching. We need quite a few additions to facilitate the 'bulk creation' of form fields and certain manipulations. I will give another detailed post once the ideas are gathered. 

In the meanwhile, if any such implementations are on the ZC roadmap, or if we glean a larger set of ideas/suggestions from other users. They are welcome to post it. 

Thanks
