Editi popup widget in web app bulder or other templates is Ok if you have few attributes to edit BUT....
when you have a complex form to compile You need a different edit popup that help users to insert quickly and efficently many informations
Something new has been added in June 2016 with the smart edit widget in the webapp builder: It add some intelligence to attributes editing but no other popup customizations are allowed.
A nice approach was made in the past with the Geoform webapp but other editing limitations are still to be emplemented (ie modify inserted point/forms)
We have many projects and activities that need simple spatial operation (add points) but complex attributes editing: actually many of these can't be implemented using a WebGIS approach..
Something more robust to manage these cases is essential and a new customizable popup widget would be the final solution. Ssome ideas could be:
manage editing of related tables (like in Collector for arcgis)
-create and manage form sections/ folders to better organize many attributes
check buttons,- radio button, selectos to optimize popup space and dimension,
-customize the editing form in terms of look and feel
thank you!
