multi column layout sizing
Completed
Hello,
by now we only have the option to give a fix amount (px) for width and height. Like for tabs, columns, groups and fields etc.
From regular web design and to fill the screens (desktop, tablet and phones) in a smarter way measurements should not be made in pixels, instead giving percentages etc. would be nicer. This would give the opportunity to equally spread columns etc.
Horizontal Group (100%) regardless the screen size
Vertical Group (50%)
Vertical Group (50%)
or
Horizontal Group (100%) regardless the screen size
Vertical Group (33.33%)
Vertical Group (33.33%)
Vertical Group (33.33%)
etc.
Ultimately a grid-view design (Responsive Web Design Grid (w3schools.com)) would be cool.
When using "Group with Header" and nested Horizontal and Vertical Groups you end up with wired and nasty layouts:
above I used solely "Group with Header"'s and once you collapse a group that do have different width (somehow due to content) the arrows are no longer aligned.
Cheers and greetings

Hi Joerg Knoerchen, thank you for posting your idea in the community. As we had a good conversation last friday in this topic I want share some discussed points at this place which could help people having the same question.
The technology is constantly developing and so was doing Microsoft some time ago with in the Mobile / Responsive topic of SharePoint and improved the UI by the Modern Experience. skybow did follow this strategy and implemented a Modern Form builder which is focussed to Mobile ready, responsive forms by default -> skybow Modern Forms
All the experience we made with skybow Rich Forms we could transfer to this form builder as well - if you know Rich Forms you will recognize many parts (especially field configuration, expressions and even some layouting controls). And for sure it's following a responsive UI behavior, which will by default floating fields below each other if no space is available for columns next to each other or change the tabs into an accordion control... and much more...
As well in the editor are some additional layouting possibilities as you mentioned above - for example equally splitted columns (responsive by default)
So everybody who's struggling with same topic on his classic forms we can recommend to check out skybow Modern Forms as standalone SharePoint Add-In or directly fully integrated in Solution Studio.0
