Extension:Page Forms/Known bugs and planned features

Below are some notable known bugs, and major planned features, for Semantic Forms.

You can also see a listing of bugs and requested features in the Bugzilla Semantic Forms listing.

Known bugs

 * There is currently a bug in Semantic Forms in which a "field" tag that ends with more than three brackets in a row will not get parsed correctly. So, for instance, the following in a form would fail: " ". If you have such a field tag, you can simply insert a space at the end to get around this bug, like " ".

Planned features

 * a "values dependent on" field-tag parameter, that would let one field base its allowed or autocompleted values on the current selected value of a previous input (e.g., a "city" field getting its values based on the value selected for the "country" field above it)
 * add support for editing sections (defined by a title with "==" around it), in addition to just templates, using a new " " tag (this feature may lead to the removal of the partial forms option)
 * allowing for the use of the standard MediaWiki editor in text fields
 * allowing for the use of the CKeditor in textareas other than the "free text" input
 * more support for getting input values from external sources, adding to the existing "values from url" parameter
 * an editable-grid input for multiple-instance templates, possibly using the jqGrid Javascript library (click on "Row Editing > Input types")
 * testing scripts using Selenium, modeled after SMW's own usage.
