Fields names to form

[arnaudv]

Hello everybody,

I have a new question: is it possible to add field names to a form view and adjust the columns according to the data inside?

It's not clear what you mean.  If you are asking if it is possible to adjust text of the Form field label based row data...the answer is YES.  There is a "Display" property for every column where you can customize the column label.  This property can accept an expression and you can use row data to create the final label value.

@WillowMobileSys , 

Sorry, there are two questions:
- is it possible to put field names in the form view?
- adjust field size according to text size

I see the "display" function, but where is the function for displaying column names?

Maybe an example of what you mean is needed?  Put the "field names" where in the Form View?

By default, column names are used as the field labels in a Form View.  There is nothing special to make that happen.   The "Display" property is an override to that default behavior.

There is not a way change the size of a displayed field based on the text it contains.

Ahh!  Ok.  You want to see table view column headings!  Why didn't you just say so in the first place! 🙂

This is easy.  There is an app setting.  See below.

Hello @WillowMobileSys ,
Ahh, it's funny. Excuse me, I run several tests on appsheet because I have a ten applications to create, and so sometimes I don't know what I'm doing anymore 🙂
