Data Binder

Image Removed

...

Load Data From

...

Load Data From allows you to customize the method for data retrieval to populate the list grid in the form.

...

Save Data To

...

Save Data To  allows you to customize the method on how the list grid row records are saved to.

This option is empty by default. An empty binder means that the list grid records will be saved/loaded as a JSON format in the parent form & database table. See the list of available  Form Binders.

The recommended binder to use is the  Multirow Form Binder  so that each record is saved into a child database table via a subform definition. The binder will update the foreign key "parent id" into each child record to point to the parent database table.

Child Form Data Deletion Options

...

If the popup form has a grid element(s), this option will delete the inner grid data.

These 3 options: (Delete Associated Grid Data, Delete Associated Child Form Data, Delete Files), in combination, does apply to nested grid/child elements.

These options traverse the entire form tree. Upon encountering a 'false' condition, it will move on to the next grid/child element.

Example: Consider that the popup form has a form grid, form grid has a subform, subform has a file upload element with abc.pdf. If all options are checked, abc.pdf will be deleted. If all except ONE of the options is checked, abc.pdf will NOT be deleted.

...

If the popup form has a child element(s), this option will delete the child data.
