SharePoint 2010 combined with InfoPath 2010 gives you new tools and ways to customize standard SharePoint lists. All that is required for extending and enhancing the listform is navigating to SharePoint list, selecting List Tools – Customize Form from the SharePoint ribbon.

This will start InfoPath 2010 and generate standard listform for you to customize. All field columns of the list are represented as fields in Infopath and this works also vice versa – if you add fields in Infopath ja publish the form, the fields are added to list as new columns. You can now enhance the form by adding data validation, rules, custom views, color coding, optional sections, default values and formulas etc.

This is a very welcome feature!
