🧩 Re-creating the “Google Form” experience inside Glide — has anyone tried this?

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

I’m experimenting with whether it’s possible to re-create a Google Forms–style workflow inside Glide — but in a fully no-code, data-driven way.

Here’s the concept:

  • Admin view → An admin can define questions dynamically inside a Questions table (with fields like QuestionSlot, Type, Prompt, Required?, and OptionsCSV).
  • User view → Regular users just see a “Form” experience that’s automatically generated from the Questions table — they can fill in answers, but don’t see or edit the question configuration itself.
  • Ideally, I’d like the form to support multiple question types (TEXT, NUMBER, ENUMERATION) and visibility rules so the right input type shows up automatically.
  • Submissions would then write to a Responses or ResponseDetails table.

Essentially: the admin defines the schema, and the form interface builds itself dynamically based on that schema — similar to how Google Forms works.

I’ve gotten partway there by using:

  • a Questions table with user-specific TempAnswer columns,
  • visibility conditions based on the Type column, and
  • a button action that writes answers into a Responses table.

But I’m wondering if anyone in the community has already:

  1. Built something like this (dynamic, data-driven form generation);
  2. Found a clean pattern for saving answers without hardcoding every question; or
  3. Used Glide’s new features (like “Add Row for Each”) to make this more scalable.

Would love to see examples or patterns others have used for this kind of configurable form builder inside Glide

Thanks in advance for any pointers or best practices! :folded_hands:

Best,
Alejandro
