I'm sure grid style appearance is very helpful for for enumerators to input and it happens very often with paper form. One of our worker's barrier to move to digital form is they dont feel comfortable and familiar to input data without grid style, they have to answer very similar questions.  
I voted and still wait for this feature.  
Text and numberic input and @David_Kaftan proposal is all my desire.  
I see [How do I handle the table in xlsform .The attached table](https://forum.getodk.org/t/how-do-i-handle-the-table-in-xlsform-the-attached-table/19969) and [Table questionnaire (integer and text input)](https://forum.getodk.org/t/table-questionnaire-integer-and-text-input/19946) so I 'd like to call @Josiah76 and @Frimpongeben1 to this topic for ther interested in the feature.  
Hope this come soon.
