Overview

The extended form features add-on gives you more control over how your forms are presented to the user by allowing you to create several new types of columns. By using "delimiters" or special characters along with keywords in the column name, this add-on can create 3 different types of form groups that will show based on a choice or expand and collapse. Use the following simple instructions to get started.
