Form Builder: Is it possible to automcatically change a form's layout based on URL parameters?

Is it possible to convert from card to classic layout *on the fly*? In other words, can I pass in an URL parameter that causes the UI to display the classic layout, regardless of what layout the form was originally created in?

Hi Gregg,

Thanks for reaching out to us for help. It is not possible to automatically convert a form's layout using URL parameters or any other methods. Also, a particular form can only have one layout.

May we know what are you trying to achieve so we can check if we can look for a workaround to achieve your goal?

Hi Gregg,

After investigating a bit, I found a possible workaround and I hope it helps. You can create 2 separate forms in classic and card layout. Then, create the 3rd form and embed both forms using the iFrame Embed widget. Then, we can use Conditional Logic to identify which form layout to show based on the URL parameters. Here's how:

1. Given that the 2 forms in classic and card form are already created, on the 3rd form, add 2 iFrame Embed widgets and embed both forms. Then, hide both iFrame Embed widgets to hide both forms.
2. Add the Get Form Page URL widget to the form. Also, remove the Submit button on the form where both forms are embedded.
3. Add a short text field, label it 'layout', and hide it.
4. Add these Hide/Show conditions to show a particular embedded form based on the URL parameters:
5. Get the unique name of the hidden short text field labeled layout that we will use for the URL parameters.

After doing the aboive steps, you can create your URL parameters. Here's the URL parameters to use:

To show card form: https://form.jotform.com/222335204531039?layout=card

To show classic form: https://form.jotform.com/222335204531039?layout=classic

Please give it a try and let us know if you need any help.
