Setting Up Associated Form Control

This article is still being written by a team member and is in progress

Overview:

The following article discusses how to setup the associated form functionality within Mirata. Associated form functionality combines the "create form from another form" and "update other form" functionalities to create a seamless connection between a parent form and a child form. This simplifies the process and decreases the amount of time it takes to configure configure internal connections between forms.

Configuration Steps:

Step-by-step
  1. Begin by dragging an associated form list into your designer.

    This list acts similarly to a regular list array, however, there are a few additional configurations that need to be done.

  2. Ensure the child form definition is specified.

    Click on associated form > navigate to associated form configuration > select configure form definition > select the child form.

  3. Assign a definition ID field as a text input, if not already existing.

    This will be the same definition of the form in the admin tool. Ex:
    acme-id.form.child-form-test

  4. Ensure there are parameters defined if any.

    Specifying these parameters will map the fields from the parent form to the child form whenever the child form gets created.

  5. Next, switch to the child form and ensure there is a status on the "create associated form transition":

    Navigate to the child form > click form details > type in "create" in the 'create associated form transition'.

In order for the fields to be visible in the create transition parameters they need to be available in the transition of the child form. Similar to a form update.
