Hi everyone 👋

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! 🙏

Best,  
Alejandro

I’d like to showcase my latest Glide template that can generate multiple-choice quizzes from either a text prompt, a PDF document, or a link to an online article (e.g. Wikipedia article) You can try it out here → [QUIZ-AI](https://grumo.com/tryquizai) Here is how it works in detail: [[AI-Powered Quiz Generator (Glide + OpenAI)] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkIlr1LbU6U)

Here’s the relevant thread I believe.
