Has anyone added more than three columns to Acumatica Modern UI form. It seems we only have som pre-defined templates that we can select from that supports a maximum of three columns as per the Modern UI Development guide.

Hi
You can modify the template like below to add more columns,
<qp-template name="1-1-1" ...>
<div slot="A">...</div>
<div slot="B">...</div>
<qp-template slot="C" name="1-1">
<div slot="A">...</div>
<div slot="B">...</div>
</qp-template>
</qp-template>This should provide analog template with name “2-2-1-1”. As per my discussion with our engineering team, it is not recommended to go over more than 3 column template. Good Luck.!

- Why engineering team doesn’t recommend placing more than three columns?
- Are we not supposed to merge fields too? I couldn’t find anything in the Modern UI documentation about it. Any unofficial document on how to merge fields?

Glad that helped.!
I haven’t experimented with more than 3 columns. I assume using more than 3 column could cause inconsistency in the rendering elements for different resolutions.
When you mention merge fields, can you please provide an example to what it implies?

As for merge, for example what is the equivalent of the below classic UI code in the modern UI. (They both are copied from AP301000 out-of-the-box classic screen). As you see they are merged together so like they are one field displayed in a column. Also Checkboxes are aligned left to save space. After merging two or more fields using Merge=”True” then adding an empty Rule, would reset the merge so the next fields are not merged anymore.
<px:PXLayoutRule runat="server" Merge="True" />
<px:PXDateTimeEdit CommitChanges="True" ID="edDueDate" runat="server" DataField="DueDate" />
<px:PXCheckBox runat="server" ID="chkIsRetainageDocument" DataField="IsRetainageDocument" AlignLeft="true" Enabled="false" />
<px:PXCheckBox runat="server" ID="chkRetainageApply" DataField="RetainageApply" CommitChanges="true" AlignLeft="true" />
<px:PXLayoutRule runat="server" />
or
<px:PXLayoutRule runat="server" Merge="True" />
<px:PXDateTimeEdit CommitChanges="True" ID="edDiscDate" runat="server" DataField="DiscDate" />
<px:PXCheckBox runat="server" ID="chkPaymentsByLinesAllowed" DataField="PaymentsByLinesAllowed" CommitChanges="True" AlignLeft="true" />
<px:PXLayoutRule runat="server" />
