Description

Hello all,

I like the ability to sync the submissions to a file in Nextcloud, but is it possible to sync submissions to a selected folder, and have each submission create an XLSX file (or table of whatever kind) with the questions in column 1 and the answers in column B? That way. each time the form is submitted, it creates a new spreadsheet, with the file name being formname-date.xlsx for example.

The ultimate solution would be to be able to create a DOCX file which has the nextcloud theme colors as the background for the document, but start simple eh?

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the existing submission-to-Nextcloud file sync entry point and how a destination folder is selected. Define the first phase around one XLSX file per submission, with questions in column 1, answers in column B, and a formname-date filename; the later DOCX request is an optional follow-up.
