I have an app where, on a form, up to 7 inspection ratings are selected from an enum for any inspection item, and after each rating selection, the user has the opportunity to write a comment for that rating.

Rating1 (enum) Comments1 (text) Rating2 (enum) Comments2 (text) etc

At the moment, after every rating, the next focus is the Comments column for that rating, and so the phone’s on screen keyboard opens up.

However, in most instances, the user won’t want to make a comment.

Is there a way to stop the focus going to each rating’s Comment column, so that, if desired, the user can just complete the rating columns, only opening a Comments column if they choose to?

You have probably this option UX > Options > Advance forms automatically > ON and it will open the next field automatically. Set that to OFF and the keyboard should not pop up.

Thx, Aleksi.

That works.

Are there plans to make it so that creators are able to turn that on and off by view, rather than across the whole app?

Well… I haven’t heard any plans for that.
