Complex Forms

How do people handle forms with lots of fields? Say you have a form with 50 fields. How do you organize it? I don’t see form tabs, accordion controls, show/hide containers, frames, etc. What am I missing?

If it’s a form that adds a record then I’d use a multi part form. If it’s an edit form then either change the layout of the page or have different edit pages for different logical sections. Is there a requirement to show all 50 fields for every edit.

Okay, thanks Carl. Of course, the trouble with multi-part forms is that on the first form you’ve already committed the record. But I hear you.

I hope Knack is listening and considers implementing tabs/collapsible accordion controls/show/hide containers/panels/etc.
