Hello @lis-g,

@lis-g,
Yes, your query is valid.
As mentioned in the official Microsoft documentation, support for configuring the form body with a single-column layout is something Microsoft has acknowledged and mentioned as an upcoming feature:

“We will add support for configuring the body with single-column layout in a future update.”

At the moment, this feature hasn't been released yet. Unfortunately, there's no official ETA provided by Microsoft so far.

@lis-g,
Thanks for the detailed report. After testing this behavior in our environment, we are seeing that configuring the form body with JSON results in a single-column layout, not the expected multi-column layout described in the documentation:

"Configuring form body will switch your list or library form layout from single-column to a multi-column layout. We will add support for configuring the body with single-column layout in a future update."

This suggests that the product behavior may have changed, or the documentation may be out of date.

We have reached out to the engineering team to confirm the current intended behavior and whether the layout behavior for form body configuration has recently been updated.

We will update this issue once we receive confirmation.
Thanks for your patience!

@lis-g,
We received a note from the engineering team stating:
“Nothing has changed in this area. In between, this bug is 2 years old — not sure if this is still valid.”

To help us verify the current behavior and determine whether this issue is still active, could you please share a few screenshots of what you are seeing on your side?
Pictures will help us compare the layout behavior and confirm whether the single-column rendering still occurs when using formSchema with multiple sections.
