"On-The-Fly Forms"
 

I was just using UR to compare SSD drives on
pricewatch when it occurred to me that I wanted a
faster way to quickly get some custom colums to sort by
for a quick temporary job. (Comparing a few numbers
regarding SSD read/write sped , cap size, and price, etc
)

I imagined that the best way to do that would be to let
the user build a new form in-line, and even allow in-line
creation of new attributes.

I've created custom forms before, but it seemed
daunting to go hunting for that feature (haven't used it
in ages), and I didn't really event want the attributes to
hang around and pollute the global namespace anyway.

+1/-1?

see the attached mockup using my "book" Form. Initially
the drop downs would contain entries like "",
"", "", etc. Then as soon as the user
clicks to set the Type it morphs to display an input
control for that type. Right-clicking on the input control
provides a context-menu to re-select the type, delete
the row, etc.

PS there probably needs to be a way to insert/remove
spacers like in regular forms... maybe just some way to
have a handle you can drag horizontally to stretch
things...

PPS would be nice to have a feature like this... I didn't
really get any mileage out of the last paid upgrade.. a
few nice things no doubt but nothing *really* cool.

*sigh*

*sigh*

I just discovered that you can't even edit/add Attributes
from the existing Form dialog... what a drag gotta go to
2 places. OK. I'll do it....

drag on.. no problem, won't bother posting this nag...

*WAIT*

*UGH*

now I have to go edit Templates too?? Dang,
I never remember making new form stuff as being this
hard... plus everything is permanent.. what a drag to go
back through and clean it out... (perhaps a way to have
a "junk" items category that can be filtered/unfiltered?)
