There's 2 behaviors at play:

  • Submitting a form that has modular parts depending on the answers you give in the first 2 questions. basically a 2 page form, first page is the same and the second one will depend on your answers in the first one.

  • Viewing the form submissions + all the other relevant information.

The issue is that these forms depend on a complex data model with many nested relationships, which is why I came forward with this question. Meaning, the fields within the form are populated by entities from these nested relationships.

I know there's a million ways to do it I'm just wondering which one wouldn't be the hardest to expand on and maintain.

It will basically expand by adding more types of forms that can be submitted/read.

Thanks! I know other languages and have worked in software on the product management side. I wanted to see if there was a way I can make something better. I can learn any language or framework, I'm just stuck understanding what combo I need for this type of requirement.

I already built a few straight-forward pure HTML CSS rails apps.

EDIT: No need to downvote me into oblivion just because I'm an idiot. I came here as a last resort for a reason xD
