Changing tabbing order in a form - UX

Brenda M
December 4, 2023

I'm creating a form using three-row columns.  Each column has multiple rows that collect like sets of information going left to right across the columns (each row represents an entry but we're offering space for 5 entries). 

In preview, when I use the tab key to navigate, the order is top to bottom then left, top to bottom, left etc..

it goes down the first column then to the next, then down, etc.  I would like it to go left to right through the columns then to the next row.  Can I change the tabbing order in the background so it goes left to right, top to bottom?

If I do separate columns, it will go left to right but the user needs to click into the next set of columns.  You can't tab into the next column. 

If I create a table to collect the information it behaves the same as separate columns.  Tabbing navigates across the row, then the user must click into the next row.

Hi @Brenda M 

Unfortunate you can't change the tabbing order.

You could create an feature request with Atlassian here, https://jira.atlassian.com/
