Input Table: Copy a list and paste as individual rows when using a radio button

    Good morning,

    On Wednesday, I noticed that functionality changed on forms. Previously, I could copy and paste a column from Excel and all the lines were created (see attached image for an example). Now, each line has to be entered individually which is very time consuming, as some of our surveys have up to 75 lines and we average 20 of those a month. Is there anything that can be done to go back to the previous option for fields entry for rowInput Table: Copy a list and paste as individual rows when using a radio button Image 1 Screenshot 20s?

    Hi sewheeler,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform support. We understand that with the latest version of the input table, you will now have to enter the texts one by one, which can be time-consuming. But, we noticed that changing rows and columns were causing issues in existing submissions, like data shifting or disappearing. So, we decided to make this update because we noticed that users were encountering too many errors when working with their Input Table.

    I've gone ahead and escalated your request to our Developers. When or if it's implemented depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know. 

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.
