snippet
TLDR: I'd like to be able to reuse a snippet of a form on another form, perhaps from a library of snippets.
Let's say in 2023 I built one great form and copied it 20 times so that all my forms built in 2023 used the best practice of sharing their fields (variables). Now in 2024 I have a new group of fields - budget or demographic fields that I need to add.
After developing a fancy new table on one application form, the admin should be able to save it to a library of snippets and then it should be possible to insert that into another form. Hopefully the variables are conserved and shared across the forms to which the snippet has been added. Bonus points if the snippet can later be edited in a library and then those edits are populated to all the forms in which the snippet was appended.
Without this feature, my options are poor for reusing forms. I would modify each of the 20 forms to add the fields. None of those fields are linked so they create **** for report-building tasks later. And database sorting becomes less efficient.
Reusing a block of code seems easy to a non-developer. Sorry if this is a big pain!
