New Mobile Framework In Preview

Request and suggestion for better alignment of checklist type questions (Y/N columns) in mobile view forms.

This post request is about suggestion for layout of for checklist type questions with possible answers as Yes, No or N/A.

Use case: I believe a substantial percentage of AppSheet forms are checklist forms. Realignment of Y/N type columns will go a long way in making the checklist type forms filling much more user friendly.

The current question checklist type questions in forms take a long scroll from user because the buttons are too big in the form view. Also for side by side field name / response layout, the long questions are not well positioned and convert into a very long vertically displayed text. Examples below. The Y/N columns highlighted in yellow take a lot of vertical space and are not very very user friendly. The other columns, namely Name, email, phone, street, city columns look good for data entry, the Y/N checklist type fields take a long space with side by side as well as

Current form style: side by side

The following columns are displayed correctly

However Y/N answer questions do not render in user friendly manner.

Current form style: default

Similarly in default form style also Y /N buttons take a large space.

Request you to evaluate replicating of Y/N questions as those are currently displayed in the detail view.

Also many times, the checklist questions have three options, Y, N or N/A . Request you to evaluate if something like following is possible- an enum button with thee options.
