New types of form fields for layouting

Flowable Application

Hi guys,

I have created two new types of form fields to get the forms a little bit more structured. So if someone would like to use this fields too I will implement it in the regarding flowable eclipse project an create a PR.

The elements are just quite simple and consists of a spacer and a horizontal line.

Hi Thomas,

Always good to have additional field types. So if you can create a PR that would be great.

Best regards,

Tho its beyond my ability, id love to see support for columns and placement inside grids. “pretty formatting” is one if the biggest requests i have from customers on any form.

Hi Nurb432,

if I have got time I will think about implementing more complex types. But actually I haven’t got enough time to realize it.

The next type or types I have planned to implement are different types of headlines.

For starting or prototyping the built-in forms are pretty useful. But if you need more complex forms I would recommend to build these forms with another techonology.

Yes, building externally is how things will get done, just would be nice to have a ‘integrated’ solution and keep it all in one place.
