Inconsistent display of forms when building vs live

Description  - It is difficult to design a form because the form preview is not accurate for some field types. This forces you to open a separate tab or window with a live request queue to see what the form will actually look like when in use.

 

Why is this feature important to you - Since it is a "live form" that you are using to visualize layout, you then have to refresh that "new request" screen after applying each change to the form. It is very cumbersome and also racks up drafts if you aren't careful.

 

If you view the same form from the Request section of the queue project, you get a THIRD and completely different layout view that shows the beautiful orange section breaks that I  miss so much . That little bit of color really helped break up the form for readability. 

How would you like the feature to work - I would like the display of the form to be consistent in all three places and would really like the colored section breaks back, or at least the option. 

Current Behaviour - inconsistent display of custom form in form preview, live queue and request section of queue project.

Hi Rhonda! I also posted this idea and didn't get much traction. I wonder if anyone even notices the difference but I wish it would get more attention. Here's hoping! 

Match Live Request Form View to the "Preview" Shown In Form Builder

Thanks, Holly!  The more I look at this and struggle with it, the more I think it is a bug because the live form looks very clunky and the preview of the form looks to be the accurate view. I'm going to submit a ticket but I also went to your post and "liked" it as well. Fingers crossed for something to be in the works to correct this.... Happy Holidays!
