I noticed slowness in building form when my form that i am creating becomes too big (too many question) and quite complex.

is this normal?

Hi Marvin,

It depends on how large the form is, for example if you had hundreds of questions then I would expect the performance to derogate (especially if your device has limited RAM). However, for most forms this is not the case, and any performance issues would likely be due to the form itself. Some common causes include:

  • Custom JavaScript code that is inefficient

  • Infinite loops in your code caused by poorly written calculations (e.g. one calculated field references another field in a way that would cause the calculations to trigger infinitely)

  • Not following Team Forms best practises
