Form Fields

When you add a new form field you can choose a source for it. All of form fields are connected (show or saves its data) to one of below options:

  • Workflow Variable - a variable created in current workflow
  • Current SharePoint List Item Field - a field of a current item
  • SharePoint List - selected list that will be shown/edited as a filtered table

Note: You can use allow of above on each form, because form can be reusable/shared, however Current SharePoint List Item Field and SharePoint List will only work on Initial/Workflow/State forms and will not work on Action Launch Forms.
