How to present a table a responder can edit


I have an onboarding survey and one of my questions for clients involves completing a table (image attached).  I’m looking for a way to present the table inside a Typeform question that allows the customer to be able to edit their own data (highlighted fields in the image).  So far I haven’t seen a way to do this, appears this isn’t supported, but maybe someone in the community has a work around?  Thank you for any input!

@MSPERRY - inside Typeform this is not possible. Not native functionality.

Hi👋🏻 @MSPERRY, You can use various methods depending on the context and platform you are working with. Here are a few general approaches;

1. HTML Table : if you are working with a web - based application, you can present the table using  HTML markup and CSS styling. You can use input fields or editable elements within each cell of the table to allow the responder to edit the content. You can use JavaScript to handle the editing functionality and sent the updated data to the server for processing. 2. Spreadsheet software; Another option is to present the table using spreadsheet software such as microsoft Excel or Google sheets. You can share the editable spreadsheet with the appropriate permissions  to edit the table cells. The changes made by the responder can be saved and shared back with your application through the spreadsheet's API or by importing data. 3. Custom Application Interface; If you are building a custom application, you can create a user interface that represents the table and provides editing capabilities. This can be done using programming languages and frameworks such as python with the Django or Flash web frameworks like Reach or Angular. You can use input fields, text areas or other editable elements within the to allow the responder to update the dat.

Remember, the implementation details may vary depending on the specific technologies you are using and the requirements of your application. You need to choose the approach that aligns with your platform and the tools you are working with.
