This is the documentation for ConfiForms Server/Data Center app

However, this might also work for ConfiForms cloud and in most cases it does. But please see this page to understand the differences between server and cloud versions of the ConfiForms app.


Question :

  • I want a way to allow people to suggest improvements to my blogposts.
  • My blogposts are available in JSON. Visitors should be able to pick a blogpost, and then provide a corrected version of the post.
  • For that they will pick a blogpost from a dropdown that is populated by the JSON.
  • When they pick a post, the field with the corrected content is automatically filled with the corresponding text.
  • They can edit the text and submit.
  • In the overview you want to be able to see both the original (current) text and the proposed text.

Approach


  • Set up webservice :
    • Add the URL to the global allowlist.
    • In confiforms administration : Create a Webservice (dummyjson.com.posts) connection to the JSON : https://dummyjson.com/posts
    • test the connection
  • Create a form
    • create a field "postid" definition of type : webservice dropdown
    • create a textarea field "body"
  • Add a confiform rule to the form
    • Track the field "postid", and choose "set value" as action. body=[entry.postid.body]
  • Add a tableview showing both the stored entry (body) as the referenced body (postid.body)
