Form Creator

Author or modify a Datex Studio form (configurationTypeId=5) on a branch — an input-collection component that gathers user data, optionally hosts a validate-then-action workflow, and hands a payload back to its caller via outParams when it closes. Forms are most commonly opened as modal/flyout dialogs from grids, hubs, and other forms.
