Searchable dropdowns
There are some dropdowns that include a lot of options for the user to select in datapages, it would be useful if they could search by display values, similar to this plugin: https://select2.org/searching

Allow virtual fields on datapages to be formatted and validated as numbers
Currently, virtual fields that you use on data pages can be formatted only as text and not as numbers. We want users to enter numbers in that we validate as correct numbers so that we can perform calculations with them. This isn't possible. Please allow virtual fields to be numeric!

Continue next element on the same line - make it active even for the last element
"Continue next element on the same line" is not available for the last element. But when you design search fields, there is a "search" button after the last field that always goes to the next line.
What if someone, like me, wants to put all search fields and search button into one line? We need to deal with CSS and JavaScript. Making mentioned option active would save me a lot of work (on each data page with search).

Dynamic / Cascading Multi-Select Fields
We need dynamic/cascading Multi-Select Fields. It is really a pain that you need to hardtype the multi-select values on the table level.
If we could have a multiselect field use a lookup table, or have the option to be cascading to let the available values change depending on another field, would be so helpful.
In example, if I have a list of values for my Multi-Select ListBox, and I only want to show some of the values for Employees and all of the values for Admins, it would be sweet to cascade this listbox off of another value to get…

Payment processor in Details Report datapage
I suggest to add Payment in Reports details datapage too. That is extremely important! It will save so much time and resources to have eit in REports datapage. Now it is possible to add only in Submission form, which is not useful as details report datapage.
I have a huge list of users and instead of adding the payment in the details page I have to create another dummy table, connect it to my main table, then set 2 triggered actions, then create another submission form datapage and pass 10 parameters just for adding in my submission for the payment…

Format Negative Numbers with Red Font
Caspio needs to modify the Format area where Numbers are formated for each Text field to allow the developers to select a Font color (the default should be RED: #FF0000) for Negative numbers. This is a standard accounting practice. This shouldn't be too hard since the (-) sign is already being associated with the number.
Right now, you have to jump through hoops and then code on every data page (the code being slightly different based on the type of page). The current solution is not documented anywhere. It took me a week and a half on the Forum to…

System Parameter - Timestamp
When I submit or update a record and use the System Timestamp paramente in the datapage to track when then action was performed, currently the time is set after the datapage is open.
However, the time between the datapage loading action and the form is actually submitted by the user might be different. It would be useful if this timestamp parameter is set when the form is successfully submitted too.

File: upload or choose
Make an option, so that the user can chose between an already uploaded file or upload a new file.
It would reduce duplicate files where the contents is the same.3 votes -
format dates for search criteria automatically and don't have the program shame me
This should be a no brainer as long as you decide you want to. When I enter a date search criteria as 8/5/23 I get a warning to enter a date. This is because it is not formated 08/05/2023. But you show it as that new format and all I have to do is hit submit again. Why shame me when you don't have to. Just change it like you are already doing and go on with the query. Geeshh

Auto-save HTML DataPage
One of the most frustrating things that can happen in the development workflow: Open HTML DataPage. Work in it for half an hour. Leave and do something else for a bit. Come back. What's this? I've been logged out? And where is my last 30 minutes of work?
This has happened to me dozens of times and it makes me want to put my head through the monitor. I know I'm not the only one out there. Please please please automatically save progress when working on HTML DataPages!!!

Enable custom tab order
Currently, pressing "tab" on a form has one behavior: move one box to the right. This can make for some pretty unintuitive user interfaces - see the image for an example. If you have two address columns, there's no way to tab down the columns; the focus will bounce back and forth between them.
Please include a way to modify this, with a way to change tab direction to vertical, or to a custom tab order specified by the app developer. Access has a nice tab order function you could look at for inspiration.

Default setting for sorting the choices in a dropdown list
It would be nice if the "Sort by" option for a lookup table used in a dropdown field was set to "none" so that it automatically matched how the lookup table was organized.

Make it possible to hide sections based on fields that are not editable
it is often the case that we want to hide sections of a form based on a field that is not editable on the form itself. It would save a lot of time and effort if this was made possible with the rules.
This is especially true on detail reports where no fields are editable but we still need to conditionally hide / show sections.

Remove "No options available" On a Cascading Dropdown field in Inline Edit
Have the ability to remove or change the message 'No options available' on a cascading dropdown.
Currently, it is only possible in Forms/ Details. Would love to see this in a Tabular Report, Inline Edit as well.

Fix virtual fields on popups
When you have virtual fields loaded in a popup which have the same number as one on the main page they confuse each other.
For example if you add a calculate field which refers to virtual1 in the popup but there is also a vitual1 on the main page it takes the value from the main page.
You actually have to add more virtual fields until you get one with a unique number. IT took me ages to figure out what was going on as if you load it in preview it works.
I consider this a bug and a…

Caspio chatbot datapage
Hey caspio! I love the chatGPT integration - very cool. Keep going with the AI push. We'd love to see a caspio AI chatbot datapage that has built in access to caspio tables. This would allow users to make a chatbot datapage within caspio that has native access to caspio tables. We're looking into this now with zapier and other tools but we end up needing to copy our caspio data out to other tables for that chatbot access... Let's keep it all in caspio!
