Zoho Forms - Improved Sub-Forms

Zoho Forms - Improved Sub-Forms

Hi Forms team,

I'm helping a client move from JotForms to Zoho Forms and I've found another opportunity for improvement.

In the below screenshot, JotForm left and Zoho Forms right.

The Zoho Forms Sub-Form is quite a poor visually. There is no way to make it fit the width of the container.

Although the JotForm table is basic and lacks functionality, it does what's required and provides a better user experience for entering data while maximising the space.

My feature request is to add the ability to make a sub-form full width, reduce the spacing around cells and define the column widths as percentages.


Thanks for listening and allowing me to contribute to improving the product :)
