Ouch....
Just put some effort into building quite a large form while using the Form Wizard. Now asked to create the table and, oops, it only generates a table with a few columns. I'll check and double check everything but it seems I need to build the table in phpMySQL after all.
Not nice 😟
Bas.
Nononono!!!
What's even worse, the generated form looks awful and only contains a few of the fields, just like the table doesn't have all the columns.....
Not funny😟
Bas
Hmmm....got part of the problem fixed. The table is as it should be. It seems the wizard get the fields renumbered once it saves the design. I had to delete a field a number of times and next I made a multi-holder in which I stated the field numbers of that moment. However, the wizard renumbers the fields upon save and the multiholders do not contain the right references anymore.
Now I stil need to fix the design as the produced form looks stil awkward.
CU later,

Hi Bas,
The multi-holder seems to count the elements in the box from the beginning down. It's fine for a small form but I wouldn't try and use it for anything big.

Well, in fact I am using several small multi-holders in a single form instead of one big one. What I am trying to achieve is simulate a table with 3 columns and 5 rows. So I thought I would make a multi-holder per row.
I am going to experiment some more, next couple of hours. Hope to find a way.
Ah....seems to be progressing. Just a matter of getting used of CF's indexing of form elements. Indeed it counts top-down, so element form_item0 is not element 0 but element 1.
Anyway, now it's becoming a matter of aligning things and tidying the layout.
As CF's form wizards warns for the HTML to be deleted, would the CSS be kept alive? A matter of further experiment.
Hi Bas,
The only code over-written by the Wizard is the Form HTML. CSS, JavScript, etc should all be safe.
