Declarative resizeable list in electronic form

A method comprising:

• generating a list descriptor declaratively specifying a resizeability indication of a list;
• storing the list descriptor on a non-transitory machine-readable medium,
• a first linear size for a first list rendering being selectable in response to the resizeability indication, the first linear size being based on the list descriptor,
• a first list rendering being a form element included in a form template, positioned relative to another form element having another linear size and based on the list descriptor and the first linear size being generable, and
• a position of the other form element in the form template based on the first linear size for the first list rendering and the other linear size;
• presenting the first list rendering;
• selecting, responsive to the resizeability indication, a second linear size for a second list rendering of the list, the second list rendering being based on the list descriptor, a list element, and the other linear size of the other form element;
• generating the second list rendering as a replacement rendering for the first list rendering, the second list rendering based on the list descriptor and the second linear size;
• and
• replacing the first list rendering the second rendering.

A system comprising:
