Form custom properties are property fields that can be populated with data relating to a form.
The custom property type affects the behavior of fields in the form and determines the format of the information a user must enter to complete the field. You can use the following types of custom properties to create different types of fields in a form.
- Composite. A composite property type can contain a set of custom properties. This property type allows a user to enter multiple values for each property in the set.
- Date. The accepted number format that a user can enter when completing date fields is based on the settings chosen when creating the custom property.
- Flag. When you add this custom property type to a form, the field appears as a drop-down list. The system can automatically display either a selected or a cleared check box based on the settings defined for the custom property.
- List. When you add this custom property type to a form, a list box is displayed on the published form. On the form, the user can select one value from the existing custom property.
- Number. Number fields allow both positive and negative numbers. The accepted number format that a user can enter when completing number fields is based on the settings chosen when creating the custom property.
- String. The text fields support all printable ASCII characters within the character set.
- User. When you add this custom property type to a form, a list appears on the published form.
