At a customer of ours we are using the formlist as a crucial ocmponent. However, the look&feel of the formlist is not really appealing:

 

Will this be changed when the layout of the forms are delivered as well?

@tiago In addition: I have added Formlist - support additional Controls to the Universal GUI forecast topic, as there are indeed a couple of Controls that do work in the Windows GUI but don't work in the Universal GUI just yet.

update: what I tried and found out was not possible:

Ino order to add some color to help the user identify what was changed recently I wanted to add a visual indication, like a red dot or something for each field that was changed. 

we use svg drawings sometimes in html fields or in imagefields that are dynamically drawn with sql code. 
we getthings like this:

 


its a bit cumbersome to make, but chatGPT hdoes the annoying part.


Things like this aren't available in the formlist, as I understand, as bor html nor images are allowed. 

any chance there will be more options in the formlist to add some colours and indication to improve UI and UX?

Hi Tiago! 

Considering your first question: can you be more specific on what elements you are encountering which are not appealing to you? (The styling of the fields themselves will change with the new Outlined form field styling)

Regarding your second question for the formlist containing HTML and images you are correct, we do not support them in the formlist as for now (this is also a hidden new question in this thread which makes it hard for others to find, I'd suggest to raise this as a separate idea!)

Hi Bart,

Thanks for your reply. 

It's hard to say “which lelements are not appealing". That's why inserted the screenshot, that shows how the formlist looks like in our case, so some UI specialists can have a look. 
I will make a seperate thread with ideas after the update, so I can first see what the changes will look like.
