Form Builder (develop)

It’s more helpful in finetuning the doctype look and feel and defining properties, and adding fields.

Hi, One small note, the form builder does not seem to have any breadcrumbs, so you have to click the back button on the browser to continue working on the DocType.

Very Nice Development it make erpnext easy for non-developer.
Reporting side and Report customization is also very weak. improve it.
Thanks

Thanks, Frappe Team for removing this drawback of Frappe. Great!

continuation of: https://github.com/frappe/frappe/pull/19452 Customize Form n…ow supports reordering all fields (including "standard" ones) 🎉 ### Implementation A new property setter called `field_order` has been introduced. When `meta.sort_fields` is called following is done: - if field order doesn't exist, existing algorithm applies If field order exists: - field order is "cleaned" for dead fields - if it matches size of fields, new order is immediately updated (best case scenario) In case new fields are present in doctype, but aren't in cleaned field order: - if standard fields at the top of the DocType's fields table are absent in the field order, a list is created of such fields. - if there are atleast some standard fields in field order, the above list is prepended to field order, else, the above list becomes field order (essentially field order gets invalidated) - remaining fields are inserted using following logic: - `insert_after` for custom fields (same as before) - computed `insert_after` for standard fields (this is currently done based on the DocType's fields table) ### Additional implementation (if reviewer requests it) - [ ] Delete invalid `field_order` (if no standard fields found) by enqueue-ing a DB call - [ ] Update field order (when re-computed) by enqueue-ing a DB call - [ ] Notify system managers if field order needs update. The "computed insert after" logic isn't 100% accurate so it can be beneficial if user reviews the order and manually fixes as needed (needs above update feature as well - to prevent duplicate notifications) cc: @ankush @surajshetty3416 ### TODO (after initial review) - [ ] tests for "computed" logic - [x] support for form builder - [ ] documentation To be backported together with #20168

Is there any easy way to install the Form Builder on ERPNext v14 to allow it to customise standard forms?

shariquerik · August 10, 2023, 1:54pm

No, Form Builder will only work in Nightly/v15 beta branch

snv · August 19, 2023, 12:05pm

I’ve proposed a backport of the changes made to customize form to allow rearranging standard fields here:

This should allow you to use Customize Form to rearrange standard fields in v14 as well, but Form Builder will only be available in v15 and above.

Hi all
Thanks @shariquerik
I was confused between form builder and frappe builder.

So now I understand that each are different.
My question now I am on V15 trying to create web form for Doctype customer.
But when the form created it appears in the same old way. The drag and drop Fields didn’t show?

Now what I have to do?

shariquerik · March 22, 2024, 8:26am

Form builder is only built for doctype creation not for webform. For webform you still have to use the same old childtable.
It’s a good feature request to use form builder for webform or to use frappe builder

tayeb_rashed · March 22, 2024, 1:32pm

Yes hope to see that as soon as possible
This will give us more flexibility on web form creating.
So all must support this feature request
Thanks
