Hi Abyot and all,

been testing out the new custom forms for event capture and it works great.

- One question that came to mind: Regarding event date and
latitude/longitude (given that "capture coordinates" is enabled) - should
we instead of displaying at the top of the form allow for inserting those
fields directly into the custom form? This would allow the users to create
completely tailored forms and integrate the event date / lat/long fields
into their form with the same style and desired position. See screenshot of
how it is now.

I know one issue with event date is that its a mandatory field and must be
included in the form and that we would have to create some validation for
it, ie. you cannot save a custom form without including the event date
field. Another alternative is to fall back to current date for event date
if not specified in the form.

I think this would be an important improvement to custom forms. Any
thoughts?
