    If you want to add a bit of separation to your form I stumbled onto this. Maybe it's published but this works.
    See attached video

    So you have "TABS" and "Text" for form formatting.
    Well, let's say you want to delineate an area in a form by putting a box around it.



    Editing Form:


    1: (first "text" element.) <table style="width:100%;border:1px solid black">

    2: (last "text" element.) </table>

    You can encompass many fields on your form by putting the </table> further down.

    Great Tip!
    I don't think that was ever posted anywhere in either Magic Buttons or here on the forum.

    It covers some of what you mentioned above in detail!

    Isn't it a lot easier to just put all of your HTML code into a Formula - Rich Text field, and then simply nest the Field Value you want into that code?

    Rich Text Formula:
    <table style="border: 2px solid red; border-radius: 4px;">
    <tr>
    <td style="padding: 8px;">
     [Field Name]
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>​

    Then drop this Formula - Rich Text field into your form as a single form entry.  This is a whole lot easier to manage over the long run, and you can see all your HTML tags at once, rather than having them spread out across many Form Text entries.

    HI Joel,


    Thanks for the reply . I have tried rich text to summarize child records in nice little table but not for forms showcase .

    I haven't tried this before. Will try and report. You want to get on a zoom ever to exchange some learnings ?

    Glad that may be helpful.  I do think it is an easy way to have HTML in a form, but the drawback is you have to create a new field for the code.  I name my fields for forms with a special name to separate them from other fields.  You can use full CSS and HTML in their including CSS flex and other styles.  Would love to share more, but as a father and full time job, my free time usually comes in short bursts without too much planning ahead.

    HTML DIV field for a message on a form:

    The Code for that:
    var Text message = "I, the supervisor, based this evaluation on my observation and/or knowledge, it represents my best judgment of the employee's job performance.";
    
    "<div style='padding: 0 3px; border-radius: 5px; background-color: ghostwhite;'>"
    & "<table>"
    & "<tr>"
    & "<td style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; vertical-align: middle; padding: 0 10px; text-align: center;'>&#9888;</td>"
    & "<td style='font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;'>"
    & $message
    & "</td>"
    & "</tr>"
    & "</table>"
    & "</div>"​

    The field name using something like "UI Display: Description of field":
