    Hi we are trying to create a table that has some columns using one type of input whilst some another (e.g. column 1 drop down, column 2 text, etc.). How is this possible?

    UPDATE (June 11, 2019): The input table field has a new type called Multi-Type Columns. You will now be able to set different type for each column such as Single Choice, Checkbox, Textbox, and Dropdown.

    There are many features when you use the Multi-Type Columns:

    1. You can change the row and column names.

    We have the Input Table field, but it is not possible to combine input field types within the table. You can only create multiple tables, one for each input type.

    The field that will allow you to combine a different input field types is Configurable list widget.
