A new command to open a Form in the Form Editor



Product

4D v18 R5 provides a new 4D command to open a form in the form editor. This can be especially useful for analysis or introspection tools.

The new command is called FORM EDIT.

  • To open a table form, pass the table name and the form name:

FORM EDIT([Contacts];"Output")

  • For a project form, pass the name of the form:

FORM EDIT("CategoryList")

It’s as simple as that! Happy coding.
