Hi, I’m trying to make a form builder. I’ve done some research and it seems possible, but I’m wondering if it’s necessary to use custom components to build it? Or can it be done without custom components?

Hey @JocsanMorera  
It can be done without them, but custom component will make your life easier!  
It will allow you to scope variables and workflows that belong to each instance

Thanks @jptrinh  
Without custom components I have a clear idea of ​​how to get the value for text inputs and selects, but for the file upload within a repeated collection, I have not been able to find a solution, any ideas?

> When inputs are in a repeated element (collection list, columns ecc) you need to keep track of the values (in your case the selected values) using variables and workflows. [This guide](https://community.weweb.io/t/are-form-variables-not-visible-while-the-form-is-in-a-collection-item/1138/6) explains how to do it. [This example](https://community.weweb.io/t/checkboxes-within-a-collection-list/1379/3) is similar, but using checkboxes. You can adapt the sam principle to work with the select or any other input.
