**Feature Request: Expanded New Record layout**

- I would love if the default “Add new” layout for collections could actually be displayed at that top level, without clicking the “Add new” button.
- In other words, collections would have the ability to be displayed as forms, rather than displaying the data in the collection.
- An alternate solution is a freestanding “forms” element that can be dragged into the builder in-line, and connected to the desired collection.
- This would be a very welcome visual change, and would allow us to have forms displayed in-line within, for example, a detailed record view.
