This would be extremely useful when I am creating a view with many fields. Especially when that view is specifically used for importing data. Thank You.
Would it pull just the fields on the form or on the documents using that form? I would have to agree with Peter, too low in pirority to consider. I don't think I have ever had or wanted more then 4-5 columns in a view anyway.
I do see how you might think it not too important, but I run into this all the time.
The first thing you want to do after you create a form is usually create a view for the docs created with that form. I would rather be able to pick a form than a default view to base my new view off of. I just completed an ROI Db where I imported most of the data. I had five forms with about 20 fields each. I need each column in the view so I can see that the data was imported correctly.
The other scenario that I run into is I am adding a field to a view and it is a Db with many forms. I have many forms in some DB's that go back to before I was the developer, so I can't always remember the name of each field. I have to go and open the form where the field is to see what the name was so I can add it to the view.
Here's an alternate idea - Allow you to select / filter the Fields list to just those fields on a selected form, and allow Drag-and-drop into the view area.
You could do a Select All, and drag to get everything, or just go after the fields you are interested in.
@6 Graham - it would be nice to see the field list grouped by form used. An add column button that would show the list and let you select the fields to use in columns.
I'm doing a data migration to SQL, so I'm having to create flat views with most, if not all, fields from a Form many times over, so this functionality is a must-have.
