The update introduces several improvements for creating and designing forms.<\/p>\n<p>This release mainly focuses on multi-column forms, the layout of submitted form data in emails, and more flexible date input.<\/p>\n<h2>Improved design of form fields<\/h2>\n<p>The management and design of form fields have been revised in version 4.19.0.<\/p>\n<p>The settings for individual fields are now arranged more clearly, making it easier to edit larger and more complex forms. Existing functions remain available, but they are now easier to access and manage.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/design.gif\" alt=\"Improved form field design in DA-FormMaker 4.19.0\" width=\"893\" height=\"520\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18519\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Individual column widths for multi-column forms<\/h2>\n<p>Multi-column forms can now be designed more flexibly. Previously, the available space was distributed evenly between the columns.<\/p>\n<p>With DA-FormMaker 4.19.0, the <strong>width of individual columns can now be adjusted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it possible, for example, to combine a wide input field with a smaller field next to it. Especially in forms with different field types, the available space can now be used more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/spalten_breiten.gif\" alt=\"Individual column widths for multi-column forms in DA-FormMaker\" width=\"718\" height=\"680\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18521\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Keep columns in emails<\/h2>\n<p>Another new feature affects the emails generated from submitted forms.<\/p>\n<p>Multi-column forms could already be displayed accordingly on the website. In the generated email, however, the fields were previously displayed one below another.<\/p>\n<p>With version 4.19.0, the <strong>column layout of the form can now also be preserved in the email<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This option can be enabled in the advanced settings. It provides a more compact and structured presentation of submitted data, especially for larger forms.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/spalten_email.gif\" alt=\"Keep form columns in emails with DA-FormMaker 4.19.0\" width=\"660\" height=\"643\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18523\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Calendar field for date ranges<\/h2>\n<p>The calendar field has also been extended.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to selecting a single date, DA-FormMaker 4.19.0 now allows users to <strong>select a date range with a start and end date<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This makes the calendar field more useful for reservations, travel periods, absences, rental periods, or any other form where users need to specify a date range.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/zeitraum.gif\" alt=\"Date range selection with the calendar field in DA-FormMaker\" width=\"648\" height=\"383\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18525\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Free update for existing customers<\/h2>\n<p>The update to <strong>DA-FormMaker 4.19.0<\/strong> is available free of charge to all existing customers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DA-FormMaker 4.19.0 comes with several useful improvements.
