Tape Relation Field

Using a Tape Relation Field in DynForms​

To select records from a Tape app within a DynForm, a field is required in which this app is referenced. In the Tape "DynForms" workspace, there is an app called "Relation Fields", where these app references can be created.

For each app relation, a new Relation Field must be added in the "Relation Fields" app, referencing the app(s) whose records should be selectable in the DynForm.

Accessing the Referenced App​

DynForms can access the referenced app via the Field-ID of the new relation field. The field ID can be found in the Delevoper info.

To keep things organized, we recommend creating a record in the "Relation Fields" app after adding a new relation field. This record should store which field links to which app and the corresponding Field-ID.

Configuration in the DynForms Editor​

In the DynForms editor, the Field-ID can be entered in the Settings of an "App Relation Field".

If multiple apps should be referenced in an "App Relation Field", the list of referenced apps in the Tape Relation Field can be expanded.

Selecting Entries​

The "multiple" configuration parameter allows control over whether one or multiple records from the referenced Tape app can be selected in the DynForm:

  • false (boolean): Single selection (only one entry selectable)
  • true (boolean): Multiple selection (several entries selectable)
