Hi,

Currently I am setting up a dynamic form using the formlist screen type.

So far I have been able to recreate the formlist similar as shown in the documentation. Displaying two columns, one as a label (using the domain control type label) and the other column containing a value. 

However, I would like to display the formlist similar as how a regular form is displayed. Meaning with a field name that is inside the field, instead of a label that hovers above the field.

Is there anyway in which this is possible?

 

My eventual goal is to use this formlist together with a regular form (one being a detail reference) on the same screen. So it would be most ideal if the layout of these forms can match.

Since the separated label:control structure in the Windows GUI has been replaced with a floating label strategy for most controls in the Universal GUI, we may have to revise the LABEL control.

Ideally, in this case a label control would automatically become the label for the subsequent input field, provided the subsequent input field doesn’t have its’ own label.

This is something that may also benefit regular forms.

I’m converting this topic to an Idea.
