Customizing Form Containers (Glide APPS)

[Franky_Boy]

Hi Glide community.
Just wanted ask if there is a reason why Glide APPs form container can’t be customized in the same way as a regular container?
Trying really hard to make a clean estimation form on a single page however I’m not able to split the components into columns inside the form container in the same way as you would with a container. E.g. 1|1, 2|1, 1|2, etc…

Kind thanks.
