Limitations:​ Forms and Fields

 To know more about forms, click here

 General         

  • Multi-column layouts are not supported in forms if the check-box/radio-button fields are added dynamically through Deluge scripts.

  • A maximum of up to four display fields can be added in a lookup field.

  • If the Add new entries property has been enabled/disabled for a lookup field, then both the subform and main forms' data will not be imported.

Importing subform data            

Importing a new value (one that doesn't exist in the main form) to a lookup field within a subform is not supported.

Formula field associated with lookup/subform  

The formula field reflects only the modifications made in the main fields and not in the lookup/subform subfields.

Consider a scenario where there are two forms: Form A and Form B. Form A contains a single line field, and records are added to this form. Form B has a lookup field associated with Form A, along with a formula field that uses the expression input.lookup.Single_Line. When editing the single line field value in Form A, the changes do not get transferred to Form B due to the limitations of formula field expressions, specifically in cases where the expressions involve input.lookup.<field> or input.subform.<field>.

Note: This limitation applies exclusively to fields present in different forms and connected through existing relationships. 

Let's consider an Order Management application, which includes a Products form and an Orders form. The Orders form features a subform for adding products, establishing a relationship with the existing Products form. This subform includes a formula field responsible for calculating the amount, utilizing the formula field expression input.subform. Assuming the amount value in the product field is a single line field and its values are fetched into the subform, updating the value in the amount field (single-line) reflects the changes in the subform of the order form. However, it's crucial to understand that the expression used in the formula field does not update the value in the Orders form. In simpler terms, the formula field in the Product form is triggered, but the same does not occur in the Order form.

Scroll limit for fields  

  • In live mode, the pick list of dropdown, multi-select, and lookup fields will only have 5000 choices listed. If there are more than 5000 choices, then the search bar should be used to narrow down results.

  • Similarly, in edit mode, under the field properties of choice fields (radio, dropdown, checkbox, multi-select), admin can view only up to 5000 choices. The remaining choices will not be visible in form properties and can be viewed in their entirety by admin under App IDE.

Unavailable field types for display  

Certain field types, such as multi-line, multi-select checkbox, rich text, decision box, URL, image, audio, video, signature, and file upload, cannot be set as a lookup display field. You can work this around by adding a hidden text field (in the form where you're looking up data) to hold the value of the field you want to display.

Integration forms  

  • Only one integration form can be created per module of the integrated service in your application.

  • Integration forms cannot be created for custom modules in your integrated service.

  • Custom fields of the selected module in the integrated service will not be listed in the field palette of Creator's form builder and, therefore, cannot be included in the integration form.

  • The fields in an integration form are predefined, so their field link name and field type cannot be modified.

  • The digit and character limits for the text and number type fields are preset, and cannot be changed. 

Upload file field 

When a user accesses a form from a web browser, an iPhone, an iPad, or an Android device, the file upload field accepts files up to 50 MB.

Image field  

When a user accesses your form from a web browser and uploads an image from the device's local storage, the image field can accept an image up to 10 MB. For an iPhone or iPad device or an Android device, the image field can accept an image up to 5 MB.

Size limits for audio  

When a user accesses from a web browser, the audio field accepts a file of up to 30 minutes that doesn’t exceed 50 MB. For an iPhone, iPad, or Android device, the audio field accepts a recorded audio of the duration set in your web browser that doesn’t exceed 50 MB. Once the timer is up, the audio recording stops automatically.

Size limits for video  

When a user accesses a form from a web browser, the video field accepts a file of up to 5 minutes that doesn’t exceed 50 MB. FOr an iPhone or iPad device or an Android device, the video field accepts a file of the duration set in your web browser that doesn’t exceed 50 MB.
