Does a Form have a max limit of number of Questions that can be asked in the form. The use case is a client of mine whats to have an inventory request form. They want the project manager on site to be able to request a set of inventory via the form
they only want to use one form and have over 100 products
is there a limit on the number of questions that can be put in the form?
Hello @saagar doing a bit more research on this and I believe monday.com Forms do not have a hard limit on the number of questions that can be added, but practical considerations like usability, performance, and end-user experience should be kept in mind when designing forms.
In your use case, where over 100 products need to be managed in a single inventory request form, here are some key points to consider:
- No Hard Limit: Technically, you can add a large number of questions to a form. However, excessively large forms may become challenging for users to navigate and complete.
- Performance Considerations: While monday.com can handle complex forms, very large ones might slow down due to browser or network limitations, especially if many conditional fields are involved.
- Usability for End-Users: Forms with hundreds of fields may overwhelm users. Consider grouping products into categories or using dropdowns, checkboxes, or other input types to simplify data entry.
- Alternative Approaches:
- Instead of listing 100+ products individually, use a multi-select dropdown or checklist.
- Allow the project manager to upload a pre-formatted inventory request file (e.g., an Excel sheet).
- Split the form into sections using conditional logic (e.g., showing specific product categories based on initial responses).
- Customization via Automations and Boards:
- You could set up an inventory board in monday.com where each item represents a product. Forms can then link to this board for streamlined data collection.
If your client’s use case demands a more streamlined or complex solution, consider integrating a third-party tool or custom automation to handle such a large-scale inventory request process efficiently.
