    Hi, 

    I need to be able to insert an 'add' button to enable users to create additional fields for a time sheet type of form and wondered if this was possible?

    Thanks,

    Hana

    Hi,
    This is brilliant, thank you. I’m using the configurable list and wondered if there was any way of making one of the boxes calculate the contents of two other boxes?
    I also wondered how I change the colour of the text of the headings?
    Thanks,
    Hana

    The configurable list widget don't allow calculations within its fields.

    If you want to use calculations you may try the Input table.

    You may change the color of your heading by inserting custom CSS in the widget.

    color:red;
