Most other similar apps have multiple kinds of input fields (eg, multiple choice with one selection allowed, multiple choice with multple selections allowed, date, currency, text, etc), each one with customizeable properties (eg. whether or not the field MUST be filled or not, as opposed to optional, length, format, etc.).
For custom templates, the report editor only provides multiple choice data entry, with multiple selections allowed, which is extremely limited. I'd greatly appreciate a better editor - this one is too basic.
