At the moment, the renderer and FormTemplate structure support fields nested inside sections, but the current Form Builder UI does not let us move already-created existing fields into sections.
This is a major limitation for production use.
What is needed is the ability to:
create a section in the Form Builder UI
move already-created existing fields into that section
preserve the existing field ID
preserve the field type
preserve required settings
preserve conditional logic
avoid creating duplicate fields
avoid regenerating field IDs
Right now, the only workaround is direct JSON editing of the FormTemplate structure or using AI to modify the template structure. That is not a suitable long-term solution for client-facing form maintenance.
This should work across all FormTemplate-based forms, not just one specific template.
Why this matters:
form structure changes should be manageable in the builder UI
clients/admins should not need to edit JSON
preserving field IDs is critical because IDs are often tied to app logic, prefilling, reporting, exports, and saved data
recreating fields instead of moving them introduces unnecessary risk of regressions
Requested capability:
Please add native builder support to move already-created fields into sections while preserving all existing field properties and logic.
It would also help if the builder supported:
drag-and-drop moving of existing fields into and out of sections
visual confirmation that field IDs are preserved
no duplicate field creation when restructuring layouts
This would make FormTemplate management far safer and much more usable in production.
