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
Auto-attach to linked documents
3. Automation & Workflow Integration
Auto-Assign Actions
Trigger workflows when forms are submitted:
Create Tasks for support teams on low ratings
Update CRM Records with new feedback
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()
Real-Time API Integrations
Push data to Google Sheets for analysis
Sync with CRM systems like Salesforce
Trigger Zapier workflows for 500+ app connections
