Advanced Web Form Features - Unlocking Powerful Capabilities

Advanced Web Form Features - Unlocking Powerful Capabilities

Overview

This article will help you build sophisticated forms that enhance productivity and user experience.





1. Dynamic Field Control

Conditional Logic & Field Dependencies

Show/hide fields based on user input to create smart, adaptive forms:


// Example: Display "Additional Feedback" only if rating is 3  

frappe.ui.form.on("Feedback", {  

    "rating": function(frm) {  

        frm.toggle_display("additional_feedback", frm.doc.rating <= 3);  

    }  

});  


Use Cases:
✔ Show follow-up questions for negative feedback
✔ Display warranty fields for product-related feedback
✔ Hide irrelevant sections based on user type


Dynamic Default Values

Auto-populate fields using:


  • Session data (logged-in user details)

  • URL parameters (e.g., ?product_id=123)

  • Linked documents (via Dynamic Link fields)




2. Enhanced Field Types

Specialized Input Options

File & Image Uploads

  • Restrict file types (PDF, PNG, etc.)

  • Set maximum upload size

3. Automation & Workflow Integration

Auto-Assign Actions

Trigger workflows when forms are submitted:


  1. Create Tasks for support teams on low ratings

  2. Update CRM Records with new feedback

  3. Send Alerts via email/SMS for urgent responses


# Example: Auto-create support ticket for poor ratings  

def on_submit(doc, method):  

    if doc.rating <= 2:  

        frappe.get_doc({  

            "doctype": "Support Ticket",  

            "subject": f"Negative Feedback: {doc.name}",  

            "priority": "High"  

        }).insert()

Submission Controls
