Nested Form and view nested form result in custom blocks

Hi All,

I am new to UNA and I still trying to understand how everything works.

Now I am configuring profile section and I am facing some challenges. Your expert help will be much appreciated.

I would like to create a nested form to store data with multiple rows. In order to create a form, we need a new form with all require fields. I have created new form using developer but while created a new nested form fields on profile section, I was not getting option to select form.

Q1. while creating form it asked for table name. I had to create a table manually in order to add fields in that form. Could you please confirm if this is the steps or I did this wrong?

Q2. Why form is not appearing in nested form fields? Do i need to do anything for that form to appear in nested form?

Q3: If I have from and to date in nested form then how I can add validation to ensure that To Date is greater than from Date?

Q4. Once above nested form is created then I would like those form to get displayed in separate block on that page . How can I achieve that ?

Q5. In about section you can see that name of fields is printed in first line then in next line values are getting printed. How I can make those to get printed in single line?

      • Hello @deep !

        The first of all, the full-featured nested forms will require to have the custom module.

        Let's review your questions:

        1) Yes, it's correct, you should have the table which will store your form data.

        2) Yes, you should have the PHP code which will process your data and show the next form according to the entered info.

        3) Such custom check is possible to do in the code, but commonly the date fields are validated for the proper format.

        4) The forms have the "view" mode like we have for the Persons Info.

        5) It could be corrected by the CSS editing in the Custom Styles. It needs to work with the

        .bx-form-row-view-caption and .bx-form-row-view-caption CSS classes.

              If I've got you right it will require the AJAX call. How it works - in your custom module PHP code) you have the method that generates the forms list. In the form you have the Javascript / JQuery command loading the mentioned method from PHP.

              DK: Where I can write code to do validation can you provide any example?

              Every form field in the Developer App has the "Check for" parameter where you may choose the variant for validation, for the date and time fields it looks like on the pic below:

              Or you may set the field as the text and write there the Regular expression check like:

              The easiest way is to add the second Profile Info block and hide the unnecessary fields with the CSS.
