Thanks to everyone who tried and tested the formbuilder module. While using it you would have noticed that the functionality of formbuilder is still limited to very simple forms and this is where the next plans come in.

I am here outlining plans that I could think of, If you find something which I stupidly missed out, please add it as a comment.

  1. Add support for trees, parents etc.
  2. Change the way in which the ordering of form widgets is done.(Right now it is done using weights but nedjo suggested that initial ordering should be better done through the order of elements in the $form array. So this has to be changed.)
  3. Add a easy way for developers to access the saved forms. (in php while page generation)
  4. Tweak formbuilder for better usability(remove unused properties etc)
  5. If possible, add a functionality to edit existing forms(nedjo suggested it for future plans :)
  6. Introduce proper validations for properties of form elements.
  7. Make the names of form elements editable.(right now they are of some custom format which is a severe limitation for advanced developers.)

Note: these points are not in any particular order. Some are pretty easy while some can take considerably more time.

btw this plan obviously means that I'll continue to work for drupal :)
