Since version 2.21.5 ConfiForms provides some helper functions for you to use to cover some common scenarios


Available since versionFunction DescriptionDemo

function cfAddFieldRequired(formId, fieldName)

Adds required field mark / asterisk. This does not make the field required - you need to have an additional validation in place to validate the field's value

function cfRemoveFieldRequired(formId, fieldName)Removes required field mark / asterisk from a field. Important to know that if the field is set as required in ConfiForms Field Definition then it still remains as required and users must provide a value before they can submit the form. This function only changes the visual appearance of a field label

function cfAddTabStop(formId, fieldName)Adds "tab stop", meaning that the field will be excluded from form's set of fields when moving around using the "tab" key 



function cfRemoveTabStop(formId, fieldName)Removes the "tab stop" marker from a field

function cfSetValue(formId, fieldName, fieldValue, isAdvanced = false)Set's value on a field. Set "isAdvanced = true" if you want to set the value on "advanced" fields (such as dropdown fields with lookup, etc)

function cfResetValue(formId, fieldName, fieldValue, isAdvanced = false)Resets value on a field (sets it to empty state).

function cfSetValueByIndex(formId, fieldName, index, isAdvanced = false)Selects value by index in a dropdown (radio) field. Options start with 0 index (so, the first option will be with index = 0)
