Highlights

  • :1234: Counter question: makes it easier to count things. Read the documentation or try it out with this form.
  • :world_map: Map scale: scale in the upper left of maps to help with distance estimates
  • :calendar: Thai Buddhist calendar question: try it with this form.
  • :arrow_up_down: New submission sending order: oldest are now sent first

:sparkles: Downloading Entity Lists and looking up values have been fully re-implemented to support offline Entities. For now, forms do not create or update Entities offline by default. The next Central version, expected in mid-December, will update all Entity-related forms to opt into offline Entities. If you would like to try this functionality before the next Central release, you can use Central v2024.2.0, add an offline column to the entities sheet, and put yes under it.
