Forms to input data into collections

[francodgstn]

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Add possibility to create forms to fill up collections (not sure it makes sense for sets), similar to what Notion recently added. Ideally, this feature should be paired up with the web publishing feature, to allow also external user to input data.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE?

See how Notion implemented it Introducing Forms - YouTube

REAL WORLD USE CASES

Allow space members and ideally also external users to input information for surveys, feedback collection, etc.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

Use Notion, Google Forms, or any other tool, and then manually import data into Anytype.

This would be super helpful. Here’s my use case:

I have a project where I want a large group of people to recommend archival books for me to digitize, and I want them to give me a reason for prioritizing these books. I have a form with 10ish questions, including checkboxes, paragraph text, email, etc… I would like each book recommendation to be turned into a book object in my Anytype library that I then run through my Kanban process.

I think it would be a nice feature to have as a option on a Template to freese the positions of the Properties on a Type so that only the content of the Properites are editable. Could be similar to how we currently can Lock an Object.
