Insert form submission directly into Nextcloud Tables App

[jvantslot]

A form should be able to be configured to insert records into an existing Nextcloud Tables App table. This would make it really easy to share form data and use the Nextcloud Analytics app. This would negate the need to export data from the form app and import into the tables app.

@jvantslot I think that this is an interesting feature request :) However, there are of course some further dependencies and requirements that need to be checked.

Just a quick brainstorming what this integration could be about:

• [ ] Create a new table
• [ ] Specify an already existing table
  • [ ] Export all questions: number/type of columns must match the questions
  • [ ] Export only some questions: map questions to existing columns?
• [ ] For further exports: update the already linked tables
  • [ ] Automatically update the linked tables on every submission?

Love the idea!

Please don't forget to add a field for image upload and display (not sure if already possible).

Very nice idea. I think at the beginning it could work just like the "export to file" work, export the whole data to a tables. The difference would be that you don't need to re-export manually, it would create a table and after add row to table for each new answer. It will gi the powerfull of Tables app to Forms app :-)
