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…  
Just wondering is there a work around, and will the form containers become more adaptable as Glide Apps develops?  
Kind thanks.

Yeah, somehow container columns are not reflected in forms. I don’t know if there’s a change coming, but if your edit quota allows it, you can try a custom form.

This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particula…
