Attributes; on my phone (Google Pixel 3 XL) I can fit about 8 attributes before the Select button disappears off the bottom of the screen and is no longer accessible. A lot of geographical features, whether from OSM or otherwise, have a lot more attributes than that! Most of the time, I think it makes sense for the project manager to limit the number of fields included in the GeoJSON; the field data collectors aren't usually going to want or need to see dozens of attributes for every feature they select. However, it seems like a div at the bottom of the list with the Select button (so it can't disappear) and a slider to scroll through any overrun, would cover any case in which someone actually wants all those attributes (or alternately, just can't be bothered to remove them when preparing the GeoJSON).

The two geoJSON parsing issues (extra top-level attributes fail and null attributes fail) should now be fixed in v2022.2.2. If anyone else gets a parsing failure, please let us know.

Thank you, that's helpful!

We've moved the Select button to the top for now. It doesn't look great but at least it means users can't get stuck if they have a shorter screen than the one that the form was tested on. We'll do a styling pass either in the next release or the following one.

Thanks for all the great feedback!
