Here's a demo of what this looked like in 3.1. Note that the UI has changed significantly, but the idea of a WYSIWYG form editor is much the same.

@johrstrom can you share how to enable this in 3.1? i would like to have a look at it, and esp see what we can/need to adapt to our setup.

You're in luck, I just wrote the docs for disabling or limiting access to apps. What you want to do, is set the projects directory to 750 with some staff group owning the directory. I don't think you should open it to all customers yet.

The directory is /var/www/ood/apps/sys/projects

@johrstrom how odd. i already did that (i found that bit in the code), and then the projects link in the navbar showed up; but didn't do anything. but now it just works. i must have messed other stuf up in my qa env.

thanks a lot!

This was shipped in 4.0. Now the project manager will have specific epic tickets for specific features and one generic catch-all epic for everything else.

I've updated the comment to move all the remaining work to other tickets.
