Does Mautic support customizing forms?  
  
How would I go about doing so in Mautic?  
  
I have two forms, one with a checkbox group, and the other with a radio group.  
  
The groups have all the counties in the state, so there are quite a few of them.  
  
I need to alter the layout so that the choices are in 3 columns, not one long one.  
  
  
  
I’m looking for a way to override the way the checkbox and radio fields display.  
  
Not necessarily for every form, but for these two forms.  
  
  
  
Any direction will be appreciated.

The simplest way would be to style the forms the way you want. Where do you want to display the forms? Mautic landing page or a 3rd party CMS?

Are you sure it cannot be done by CSS? I’d do it like this:

```auto
.mauticform-checkboxgrp-row label {
    float: left;
    width: 33%;
    display: block;
}
```

The form is brought into a joomla web site as a content plugin.

I need more than CSS styling. there are 60 choices and it would be better to have those in a 3 column panel.

To be able to override the form generator for these two forms, but leave the form generator untouched for other forms in the future, would be ideal.
