Questions with Columns

[taylorswiftlover]

Just out of curiosity, if i have two columns and order top to bottom, when do i know when the fields will start going into the 2nd column? I never use columns because i don't understand when the fields start going into the next column.

It will divide as to how many fields you currently have and divide it into 2 when you select 2 columns. It will only apply to the particular section, and if you add another section, it will not be applied with the new one. Here's a HowTo article for reference: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/datapage-components/multi-column-and-sections/

ok, but i wish it will give the option to say when a field starts in the next column

If the field is three within a section and you wish to place it on the other side, you'll just need to add an empty HTML block so that it can be equally divided.

Other question, is there anyway to reference a field in an HTML Block? I am making an HTML table to control the layout of elements but I can't reference them? Like in calculated formulas, where you can reference another element but putting something like [@field:Name].

By default, the nature of submission forms are to only submit a data record to a table. If you will be retrieving information from other fields, you can only use system parameters and authentication fields (if authentication is also enabled).
