Field | Description |
---|---|
Name | Enter a name for the Update Form action. |
Description | Provide an optional description. |
Previous Action | This is a read-only reference field that displays which action will happen immediately before this one in the workflow. |
Next Action | Choose the action to perform next after the Update Form action has resolved. |
Form Update Rule [#] | These rule groups organize the Form Update actions that are being performed during this step. Each rule group contains five variables to configure, as explained below. To add another rule group, simply click Add Rule at the bottom of the sidebar. Another rule group will display for configuration with the same variables as the previous. NoteTwo rule groups cannot perform an action on the same form item. For example, you cannot configure two Form Update rules to both update the same checkbox. |
Form | Choose the Workflow form that contains the form item to be updated. |
Form Item | Choose the form item to be updated from the drop-down list populated by the Form field. |
Form Item Value | Enter the new item value that should be entered into the form as a result of this action. NoteThis can be a workflow expression, meaning that the value put into the form will be dynamic. Static values can be entered using a specific format depending on Form Item:
|
Allow Blank Values | Click this checkbox if a workflow expression is expected to return a value to this field that can be blank. NoteIf Overwrite Existing Values is set to true and expects a value that can return as blank, this should be active. |
Overwrite Existing Values | Click this checkbox if the value being entered can overwrite the value that already exists in the workflow's form. |
