Better Visual Cues for Logic Connections on New Form Designer

I would love to see the new form designer incorporate some better cues to show logic connections. The new form just has the D for display logic or S for skip logic (and filled in or not filled in based on end of connections); however, this does not solve for seeing which fields are connected to each other. Previously there was color-coding, which was sometimes hard to distinguish but was still very helpful.

 

I would love to see some sort of boxes with colors and/or numbers to show which fields are connected so we don't have to attempt to click into several fields and scroll to additional settings at the bottom to find out what each field is connected to. We also could easily see before which fields were VERY connected (i.e. had several other fields connected to them, so we knew we needed to be extra careful). Now we have to click into each to find these. 

 

This is important because the new form builder will now be the only option. We have many large forms with a lot of logic built in that are working great for us; however, they now take much longer to edit due to the new builder's logic designation. There is also a lot more risk for adjusting a field that is tightly woven into the rest of the form due to logic. 

 

Thank you!

Thanks @brittanylang,

 

Liked, and also filed for future reference under (working title) Form Logic Map Report solution.

 

Needs funding, but would present a hierarchical "map" of the Form Logic, with rules revealed and rule relations colorized...with connecting lines to add a whole new dimension to understanding the mechanics. Happy to Imagine The Possibilities via doug.denhoed@atappstore.com
