Element: Form

This element collects other elements as part of a form.

No code

Forms can be connected to Tables using no-code. This way they can be used to create or edit records.

Low code

There is a property that can be set using low-code called dataRecordID. Use the set_property_from_variable action to set this property and connect a form to a specific record in a table.

Actions

Refresh the form

If the form is tied to a record in a table, this can be used to refresh the elements inside the form and update them to the new state of the record.
