4. Can an option list be another form? This would allow for dynamic option lists.

Yes, absolutely. For radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdowns and multi-select dropdowns, you can choose the data source to be from the field in another form. This was added in 2.1.0. You can find that setting in the Edit Field dialog window on the Edit Form -> Fields tab.

Wait, so you're saying that a checkbox in Form #1 could actually be a separate form with it's own process?

I would love to see subforms, where you have a form called forum, and the subform called topic (a form) --- so you could have a list of forums, and each forum has a listing of topics, subform of topics could be a poll forum, commment forum.

Also would love to have subforms made from existing records in other forms. If you have a Telephone Call Form, the Contact is from the "Contacts" Form, so for every telephone call you log, your not writing down the contact information every time. (relational database .... so cool... thanks! I need some of your features ASAP!)

Also, How does form tools scale? Can it scale?

Finally, Mr. Ben, is there a way to export the form creation data so you can export creation of the form to another form tools installation (if you have TEST and PRODUCTION versions of Form Tools on your system, or export your Form to a 3rd party application that would read the Form Tools Form, and create the database tables in the other application.

Thank you. I do not know programming well enough to create what I want, but I know a little bit here and there. I would like to use form tools as the basis for my website, and I think form tools will do a fantastic job once I figure out how to get it all done.

At some point I would like to have additional capital from the business to pay a programmer to expand what I can offer. The fact FT is GPL'ed is helpful. Thank you so much.

I am still trying to learn how to use form tools. Pardon for some of my stupid questions!
