Is there a way to define the tab sequence when navigating a form. ?

Got 2 columns and users would like to use the tab to move left to right in each row. Current behavior seen is that tabbing moves top to bottom in the same column

I appologize for misunderstanding totally.

This comes up from time to time. It's one of those answers "it is what it is". Tab moves the cursor from field to field (generally down the left side columns, then right.)

To try and modify it with DOM manipulation or other non API scripts can put your script at risk of not working or causing bad effects for future upgrades.

Hi,

Can you please share more details with screenshot please?

From what I understand you can do that from form designer and form layout

Thanks Yousaf ..and sorry for the confusion

Am looking for a way to use the tab to move from one property/variable to another. Right now hitting the tab, the focus moves top to down ...and then to the next columns (red). Would prefer the sequence to be left to right and then next row (green)
