Here are some of the features I would love to see added to Go Canvas.
- The option to take multiple pictures at one time, then to upload them straight into a photo field. At the moment, pictures taken need to be added one by one, and in a report with 200 photos this is a slow process.
- Can you add an option to edit reference data used in dropdown boxes on the device (only changed on singular report)? We want to be able to tailor our comments to specific issues, and this would be a big help.
- To make report summary write ups more effective, an option to edit mirror fields would be a great addition to the mirror feature.

Jade Ford McPharlin thank you for your comment! The first bullet point can partially be accomplished with Multi-Photo Photo Fields. These allow up to 10 images to be added to one field and users can select those 10 images from their gallery to add at once. Taking each photo individually would take longer but the Multi-Photo field does improve this slightly.
Reference Data drop down options can only be edited if the Style of the drop down field is set to Editable within the form builder field settings. This setting also now works with Reference Data in the Builder as well as in the Legacy Builder. In the Builder, it is a toggle in the field settings modal.
I'm not entirely sure I understand the value of editing a Mirror Field, could you explain it a bit more? The purpose of a Mirror field is to simply reflect data entered earlier in the form. Perhaps a workaround to editing the Mirror field itself is to mirror a field and then provide a comment box underneath to add context or updates if information has changed since the data shown in the Mirror field has changed through the course of filling out the form. Or simply turning on Table of Contents, granted that Workflow is not also enabled, so that the user can jump back to the page with the field that is being mirrored so they can edit it from the source. But any details you can provide to how this would benefit your users is helpful for us to better weigh feature requests!
Please let me know if you have any further questions or clarifications needed for the information provided above!
Hi Lauren
Thank you for your reponse.
Point 1: Multi-Photo Fields Efficiency
Issue: The process of adding photos one by one in a multichoice field is slow and cumbersome, especially when dealing with a large number of photo fields.
Solution:
Point 2: Editable Dropdown Fields
Issue: The dropdown choices are not editable, which limits the flexibility of the reports. A one time comment can be added to the dropdown field yes, but editing the dropdown choices is not something you offer.
Solution:
Point 3: Mirrored Field for Summarizing Findings
Issue: Summarizing findings into one field and making it editable for better readability and utility.
Solution:
If you need more detailed information or assistance with specific aspects of these solutions, feel free to ask!
Jade Ford Thank you for this detailed explanation!
