This exploration rethinks complex mobile data entry by combining input fields, expandable sections, and summary states into one reusable pattern.
Top-level categories act as parent inputs. Empty states signal what still needs attention, while completed child values roll up into compact summaries directly on the parent row. Users can scan the full order, see what is missing, and edit any section without digging through a traditional form flow.
Instead of breadcrumbs and back-button-heavy navigation, nested bottom sheets preserve context while letting users move quickly between parent categories and child inputs.
The result is a simpler way to create and manage complex data on mobile: fewer screens, less navigation, better context, and faster form completion.
This pattern was put in to practice an implemented in to ISN's mobile app - which is used by thousands home inspectors to create and manage inspections on the go
