Useful tool

  • It was very easy to set up the form and intuitive to add extra fields. 5* for that.

    [Edit] I found the new visual editor confusing – to select the whole form and change the top-level settings (e.g mailto) – is via the Submit button which didn’t seem logical to me.

    That’s not the plugin’s fault, but probably mine for being a nerd.

  • Hi loiswakeman,

    Thanks for the review!

    I apologize, but I’m not sure I understand what you’ve described about the visual vs code editor. When you have a chance, could you please share more details about you’d like to be able to do within the Gutenberg editor?

    Thanks!

    Hi Jess – it’s hard to explain in words, but once the form has been saved, there seems to be no way to select the whole form to see the settings at the right side. Clicking at the top just offers a new block, and as soon as you move down from there, it’s the settings for the first field in the form that are displayed.

    [Edit]: I’ve just played about a bit more, and find out that I can edit the mailto if I select the submit button.

    I guess it’s just me me – I think in a top-down way regarding the form structure in HTML and expected this to come first in the hierarchy, but the overall settings are actually held down at the bottom!

    Hope this makes sense, and thanks for getting back to me. I’ll edit the review in a bit.

    Hi loiswakeman,

    Thanks for sharing some extra details!

    If I’m understanding correctly now, it sounds like you’d like to see some options like what’s available in the form builder. And while we wouldn’t be able to do exactly this (since it could get pretty messy with the same form’s settings potentially getting adjusted in multiple spots), possibly it could be helpful to link to the form builder from within the block’s settings.

    Could you please let me know if this idea seems on the right track? I’d be happy to add it to our feature request list ??

    That sounds like a good compromise. Of course, I may be the only one who has this difficulty in finding the settings!

    Many thanks for your response Jess.
