Forum Discussion
Personally, I hate having multiple forms. In my experience, it creates all kind of problems. For example, when the user goes to view a record, which form is it going to use. These records are no doubt going to be used for viewing as well as during the data entry process. Also, it's unfair to the user experience to assume that they will proceed exactly linearly step-by-step through the form and never stop partway and have to come back to it later. If they come back to it later, how does the system know what form to use.
I would strongly suggest pushing form rules to their limits before giving up and going to multiple form route.
Sure this can be a bottleneck Mark I do concur with you. Am also curious on how far the rules have been pushed to limit. I did give this idea presuming he has exhaused all the form rules. Personally, that task is doable with form rules and some formula fields.
