In this proof of concept/showcase, we are creating new form by defining the form attributes and form fields in a Joget app itself.
Figure 1: Defining New Form
Figure 2: Form Created
You may study the bean shell code in the spreadsheet > store binder to learn how to programmatically create a new form.

To try out this app, please download and install the plugin from https://github.com/jogetoss/multi-store-binders/releases before importing the app into your copy of Joget.
