I came lately with an important issue and I do not know which solutions are aviable to me for solving it.
Indeed I need to creat dynamic form, let me explain it:
I have a form for an object where user can fill in mandatory fields of this object and when he save this object the other fields are fill in with default values. My issue is that i want the user to be able to chose the fields that he will fill in.
So I imagine like to put a multiselection picklist where all the object's fields are aviable and the user can chose the one that he wanna fill. Bellow I would put an 'Add' button and after my click I would like my form to be update with the new fields that my user selected. The thing is that i do not know weather I can do such dynamic form in visualforce. Did you ever had to creat this kind of stuff? If yes which tools did you use?
Thank you everyone for reading
Yes you definitely can create such form with visualforce and it shouldn't be hard.
You can make a use of rendered property for a fixed number of fields or use apex:repeat tag for dynamically growing list. For example
<apex:repeat value="{!fields}" var="f">
<apex:inputField value="{!sObject[f]}" />
</apex:repeat>
Where in controller fields is a List of strings containing field names.

We have a requirement where we need to combine two separate fields into one in the salesforce object and then removed those separate fields from the page layout but when the edit option is enabled in the salesforce portal to edit the object the eliminated fields should be there for edit. If further clarification is required, I can also do that

I have tried the formula custom field type where I have to write a formula of concatenating the two fields like this given below:Text(Rent_Start_Date_Actual__c) & ","& Text(Rent_Start_Date_Type__c). I have also removed these two separate fields from salesforce page layout but it also gets removed when object window is in edit mode and we do not want that.
Rather than potentially messing with the edit page, have you considered using a simple screen Flow and an action to achieve this? For example, an action to 'Edit Rent Details' added to the page header, and then when clicked it presents the individual fields on a screen flow for editing? Once saved, the page would refresh and update the formula field as required.
I wanted to display a custom field as Read-Only on the Edit page ONLY of a custom object. This field should be hidden on the detail page. I tried wrapping the field in a section and display the section in Edit Page only(Page layout editor). That didn't work. I don't want to create a custom visual force page for the EDIT Page. Please suggest.
Thanks

Unfortunately, there's no way to put a field on just edit or just detail. It's both or neither.
You have two options, custom Visualforce page as an Edit override is the easiest one, but if you want to leave the page layout editor as something useful to admins, there's also a very hacky option...
Create two record types, one that displays the field and one that doesn't. Create a new button that launches a Flow (with a return URL of the edit page for that object). The Flow should change the object's recordtype to the one that displays the field. Additionally, create a Process or trigger that changes the recordtype back to the one that does not display the trigger after you save the object.
I definitely recommend the VF page...
Im trying to create a form, first element should be a tag with a few options and each of them will dynamically bring up a different set of forms depending on what the user chooses. The idea is within the select tag there will be different categories like cars, properties etc.. first user only sees that and when chose, it will bring up a set of input fields that required for that category.
Anyone got an idea what would be the best way to do it in angular?
Using the ui.router module, you can populate a DOM element (ui-view) with an HTML template file. On selection of the dropdown, you're telling angular to go to a different "state".

I'm trying to put a checkbox in a salesforce page but the problem is that the required message is more than 40 characters so it doesn't fit in the checkbox label (40 character max)
I tried adding two custom fields on top of the checkbox but the problem that these fields even though if they are read only the user can edit there content(text(255)) or not be able to see them(formula(text)) in edit mode.
Is there any way I can do that without creating a custom page and appending it in the page?
It isn't an ideal solution but you could create a new section on your page layout which will allow more text than a label to be displayed. Then only put your confirmation check box field in that section.
That will affectively give you the long label description you are looking for.
You can create a very simple Visualforce page:
<apex:page standardController="Account" showHeader="false" sidebar="false">
I confirm that the new account is open
</apex:page>
Set the controller to your object; I use "Account" here.
You then insert the Visualforce page directly into the page layout, just like you would a field.
It sounds like you need visualforce or S-Controls (now deprecated)
An alternate is to make a text box and prepopulate it with the info, but I think that too would need those technologies
If you come up with a solution to this- let me know.
I have a picklist with three values and a text area that has three values as well, but I would like to correlate one value from the picklist with one value of the text area. Any thoughts as on how I can do this?
If creating a visualforce page is an option, you can do this with a controller extension, or a custom controller. For example, you could override the save() method and have your new save code populate the text for you-- simply create a map of dropdown values to text area content and set the text as desired. It should also be possible to do this without saving by using some of the visualforce built in AJAX hooks: look at the onchange attribute. (Note that last I checked the onchange did not fire properly for lookups, but it may work for dropdowns)
Have a look at the visualforce documentation here: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/index.htm
