DESCRIPTION:QField's built-in form interface covers most data collection ne
 eds — but what happens when your project demands something it simply can
 't deliver? This talk explores how to break free from QField's native form
  UI using the app-wide QML plugin mechanism: a powerful but largely undocu
 mented capability that puts full control of the data entry experience in y
 our hands.\n\nMost practitioners who discover QML customization in QField 
 start at the layer level. This talk makes the case for thinking bigger. By
  working at the app-wide plugin level — through main.qml and metadata.tx
 t — you gain the ability to intercept and completely replace QField's na
 tive form drawer for any layer in your project\, with a single\, maintaina
 ble plugin.\n\nWe'll walk through the key concepts: how QFieldSync exports
  projects and names GeoPackages\, how the app-wide plugin mechanism works 
 and why it differs fundamentally from layer-level customization\, and how 
 to use iface.findItemByObjectName("overlayFeatureFormDrawer") to hook into
  QField's UI at runtime. Along the way\, we'll cover the real challenges e
 ncountered — including QML/Qt integration quirks and debugging strategie
 s — and the solutions that made it work in production.\n\nWhether you're
  a QField power user who has hit the limits of the native form\, or a deve
 loper curious about what's possible beneath QField's surface\, this talk w
 ill give you a clear mental model and a practical starting point for build
 ing custom form experiences that your field teams will actually want to us
