Purpose

In the Form Schema page, the Developer Edit feature allows users to view the JSON form schema, providing a developer-friendly interface for structured data editing.

What can you do with it?

The goal of Developer Edit is to give users the ability to interact with and customize form structures by viewing the JSON form schema. This functionality supports copying and transferring form schematics into another developer edit schema for efficient management and replication.

How is it done?

  1. Navigate to the Form Schema Page:

    • Access the Form Schema page within the Quality module where you'll find the developer tools.

  2. Activate Developer Edit:

    • Enable the Developer Edit option by toggling it ON. This will open the JSON view of the form schema.

  3. View and Edit JSON Schema:

    • Once toggled, the JSON representation of your form will appear. This can be copied for sharing or alterations.

  4. Copy JSON:

    • Highlight and copy the JSON text to your clipboard to paste it into another developer edit schema or save it for future use.

Important Considerations

  • Caution with Edits: Changes to the JSON can affect form behavior; ensure you understand the modifications before saving.

  • Consistent Validation: Always validate JSON structure after edits to prevent errors.

Best Practices

  • Backup Before Editing: Maintain a backup of the original JSON schema to avoid loss of data.

  • Document Changes: Keep records of alterations for team knowledge sharing and troubleshooting.

  • Collaborate: Share JSON edits with team members for collective review to minimize errors.
