Set direction of field flow

I have a form with 2 columns of fields. I want the input flow to be down the first column then down the 2nd column.

Is there a way to tell the form the DIRECTION (left->right vs top->bottom)?

Hi @swaggerutah,

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but there's a similar and recent post here

Thanks, that looks promising.

@MiguelOrtiz I tried the suggestion to put the first 2 input fields on the left with no corresponding fields to their right and it didn't seem to work. I ended up making two side-by-side containers IN the form into which I placed the fields. Then all the fields on the left were accessed by tab key top-down followed by the fields in the right-side container.

Thanks for sharing your current solution, @swaggerutah!

We've definitely gotten some feedback that setting up the inputs for tabbing is tricky and sometimes still doesn't work as expected; we are tracking requests for a new feature to control how the direction works

Back in the day for windows forms apps in visual studio they had a feature that you could set all the fields by clicking on them in sequence. The downside was that if you messed up or added a new field you had to do the entire sequence again
