In QGIS I have set the form layout so that the attribute fields are organized in tabs. In QGIS I can see the tabs with the attribute fields. In QField, the tabs are gone and all attribute fields are displayed directly. What can I do about it?

At first, you can search here for other issues about tabs… 😉

Great idea, I haven’t found the solution yet, do you know something?

I’ve never encountered this issue. I think you will have to share a test project.

Kaguenze , when you design your feature form layout with tabs, you have to make sure the root elements are _only_ containers, otherwise QField will flatten everything into a tab-less list.

E.g., this will work:

While this will **not** work and will result in a single list of all items:
