Features

SPEasyForms allows power users to apply jQuery constructs to SharePoint forms without any knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. This is all done through a drag and drop editor available from the list ribbon or list settings page.In broad strokes, you can do the following things with SPEasyForms:

Form Structure

Organize fields into multiple columns, tabs, or accordions. You can also nest these field containers.

Conditional Visibility

Hide fields based on form type, membership in a SharePoint group, and or the current value of other fields in the form.

Field Behavior

Create auto complete fields with type ahead based on items in another list, cascading lookup fields, and more...

Version Support

Works with SharePoint 2010 and later.
* Classic lists and library only. SPEasyForms does not currently work with the new modern lists and libraries, and has not been tested on noscript sites.

Note that that if you have a problem on SharePoint 2019 where SPEasyForms appears to have no styles, read about the solution here: SPEasyForms does not Load Correctly after Solution Deployment on SP Server 19 (the last two posts describe the problem and solution).

About

SPEasyForms is an open source solution for SharePoint 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, and Online/Office365 (Note: modern lists and libraries are not currently supported...maybe someday, but given the direction SharePoint appears to be going, maybe not), hosted here with source code on GitHub. It is a tool for customizing SharePoint new, edit and display forms through a list settings page.

No code is required; it is intended to be for power users and administrators to use to customize SharePoint forms without needing to know JavaScript, HTML, or CSS. Just deploy the solution (or check out the blog post Installing SPEasyForms in Farms Without Sandbox Solutions), go to the list ribbon or list settings page, click on SPEasyForms, and configure things like tabs and conditional field visibility through a drag and drop GUI interface.
