Custom Form Layout Strategy

I'm starting to get requests (finally!) for more complex form layouts. The image is one example. I often have multiple columns and rows and we want form fields in specific orders. I've got that working pretty well with

Grid::make()

Grid::make()

. I've also used

Split

Split

and

Section

Section

for some of this. For more complex grid layouts like the screenshot here, what's the best practice? Grid only? Splits for left/right + grids for rows/columns within a split? Some of these get nested/ugly fast and just curious how everyone is solving this. I've also done it with custom views.

I often have to come back and edit these forms later so trying to start off the right way. Would love to know how you guys handle this.

Solution

I'd probably do it with a custom layout component.
