Multi-steps new create forms

Adrien Jorge

I'd like to have multi-steps new create forms.

They help users focus + make conditional logic easier to handle.

I am voting 100 times for conditional logic on form fields within action buttons. 
Just looking for the same functionality in the standard form where a user enters a new record to be replicated in the 'action button' form. The ability to set required fields, conditional visibility etc. 
I currently require users to click an action button and enter information before proceeding to the next step/status. 
Many times the information required to be entered by the user 'depends on X, Y or Z' of which information the user is only entering in the system within the action button. 
I currently am unable to make specific fields conditional which means I have to create multiple action buttons predicting the use case scenarios the user might gave - which is not ideal for many reasons - and/or I have to include all possible fields in the action button form and keep them optional.
Therefore if they aren't relevant then the user doesn't have to fill them out - but this leaves really messy and excessive use of fields and my users miss entering the information all together because the fields aren't required. 
So, definitely voting up the conditional logic of action button form fields please.

Yes, please - especially with conditional logic.

Love this. Related items needed.

Ability to select what options to show in drop down fields. (I have a field that is status based (New, In process, complete, remove) on the creation form remove looks like a ridiculous option. To get around this we have to have a one drop down that contains remove and one that doesn’t. Create form uses the one without remove, the details record includes the field that has remove. - bunch of Airtable formula fields and automations later and it looks like it functions the way it should.
Contingent logic in the field sections of the record details page. E.g can’t see a field until another set of field selections are made. Currently you can daisy chain this together by adding a bunch of different field sections each containing a field or few fields and then you hide the whole section unless the correct selections are made, not a problem for small instances but when you have a ton of contingent logic the details page looks like a hot mess with all these one to two field sections filling up the screen.

Yes ! And also please allow lookup field from airtable work from one step to the other ! e.g. : the user choose a linked record in step 1 and in step 2 he can see a lookup field from the linked record in step 1

Something similar would to offer conditional logic based on the field populated on the form (instead of field already populated on the record being edited), as Airtable has for the new record form.

I'd say multi step would be great. But tbh I'd settle for being able to specify the redirect link that gets invoked after the user clicks save.

obviously that won't work for https://docs.stacker.app/pages/create-forms/inline-create

ust had feedback from a customer: you can't hit enter to move through the form which is really annoying. makes it take a lot more time

Yes, please! With the ability to limit options available in dropdown menus (like Airtable forms).
