Hello, @angus I have noticed that with the plugin installed and enabled it appears to shift the “More” button to the center instead of keeping it in the left. Any idea why this occurs? Thanks.

Thanks for the resolution :+1:

Can the data captured thru the form be immediately displayed in a table in a topic?

923

Hey @ppcole, yes it can. You would need to use the a “Create Topic” action and the “Post Builder” for that. You can read further and follow up here:

924

@angus, can rows be added to the previously created table as members complete the form or does a new table have to be created?

925

There’s currently no way of doing that. But if you send me a PM on coop.pavilion.tech we can discuss further.

This appears to have changed at the start of this year - brilliant!! No more sword of Damocles up there!

I’ve just started using the Custom Wizard Plugin again after a break; I’m impressed by just how refined and robust it is now - and how it can cater for many edge cases that aren’t covered by core or the official plugin / TC ecosystem. Or indeed, it can refine and join up some of them quite effectively.

My latest little project where it has been super helpful has been overcoming the challenging UI for Discourse Calendar (and Event), which is admin-friendly rather than user-friendly.
