I was wondering everyone else's experience with the new forms. There is so much I love about them, but I am encountering a lot of issues. Lots of navigation/return 'weirdness', some unconventional auto saving, report link bugs, etc. Are others having the same experience? I can't decide if I can even implement the form as it is quite quirky....

Maybe I just need more time with it, but I am curious others thoughts.

Same here:) I was excited to test it and switch my current forms into New but I put it on hold.

For new development I started even from New form, but as I include "way-to-many" fields performance of it was very poor.

Also not having ability to places "Grid Edit" related table not acceptable.

I experience the same. They haven't integrated grid edit reports to be included in new forms. That sucks!

Sanad, there is a way to get grid edit on new forms.

Hey Mark,

Can you explain how can I add grid edit report into new forms?

I haven't switch anything "in production" over to new Forms yet, partially because others have reported so many issues … coupled with lack of visibility into known bugs. I get the impression this feature was released too soon, probably to showcase something at Empower (speculation).

Also, I want to avoid a mixed UI where some parts of the app are old styles and some parts are new style. Although, I suppose we could build new style forms that are basically not assigned to any Role and then point the new forms to all Roles when we are ready to roll out. But, switching over our many existing to new Forms would be a pretty huge project and I just don't see benefit from an ROI perspective.

I do keep an eye on the Release Notes and see that issues are being fixed in "Forms 2.0."

I agree.  I just started building out a New Form, and I really like many of the new features, especially with Form Rules.  However, I quickly came across my first issue and opened a support case.  When adding a child record from a parent record, but then click "Cancel" to avoid adding the child record, it redirects me to the child table home report, instead of back to the parent record.  Legacy form does not behave that way.  As I continued to develop in the New Form, I came across more bugs and have come to the realization that New Forms are not yet ready for production.  I'm hoping the bugs will be addressed soon.
