DAP- 6081 - Ability to define what fields/sections of a form will be copied when the clone feature of a form is enabled

DAP- 6342 - Ability to add "Empty/Not Empty" conditions on system-generated Id field

Existing System: Currently, user would not be able to configure actions for system-generated Id control. 

Purpose: To provide flexibility to configure actions that are "Save-Dependant". 

Enhanced System: User would be able to: 

  • Configure 'Empty' or 'Not Empty' based conditions for a System Generated Id.
  • If a user wants to have the application behave differently after record save, then this configuration will be much helpful as a system-generated Id gets generated when users hits save.
  • So, any condition like "Id is Empty" is configured means the behavior is applicable for record create scenarios. 
  • Similarly, any condition like "Id is Non-Empty" is configured means the behavior is applicable to all existing records which are already created and user wants to update it.

Impacts on existing forms: No

Available in Mobile: Yes on both iOS and Andriod.
