Is there a way to arrange fields within a form into columns? I can only find a means to change the vertical arrangement. My fields are essentially toggles that i would like to place 2 to 4 abreast as opposed to the default vertical stacking.
Related to this. Is there a way to group several forms on the same screen such that they will all submit by selecting only one submit button?
Welcome to the community @christopherHupp! 
You cannot do that with a built in form but you can achieve this with a custom form! So custom forms are the answer for your both questions.
Custom form is a form that you build with inputs, drop downs, pickers and buttons. With this you have more ability to change the design nicely!

Thank you, the tip was helpful. i am having no problems now with linking dropdowns to a create action on a button; however, i do not see a way to link a toggle to the button even with the toggle in the same container and group. Is there a solution for this?
