Indicate active/inactive Custom Forms on Builder

Description - When building a custom form you can view fields and sections in the form library. On the right panel it will note if it is used on other forms and you can click "view related forms" to get the full list. This list is incredibly helpful as is but would be more powerful if it indicated active vs inactive forms.

 

Why is this feature important to you - Knowing that a field is only seen on inactive forms would quickly indicate that it shouldn't be used for the form I am creating/updating. It also tells me that if I wanted to make an update to the field (hide/show a choice, rename it, change the lable) no active 

 

How would you like the feature to work - Even something as simple as making the inactive forms gray and keeping the active as blue would help. Or if there's more real estate adding an x icon next to inactive forms. Another idea is to split the list into two sections one for active and the other inactive.

 

Current Behaviour - I have to either open another tab, look at the custom forms list and quick search the form name to see if it's an active form; or run a report for active forms and see if these are on the list

Agree on this completely! Our workaround is we put "retired" or "inactive" in the form name once we make it inactive. Then at least at a glance, I can look at the list of forms the field is on and see which ones are active. Not great, but a start?
