SubForm
The Subform special field lets the end user create a list of similar or related entries. For example, you might use a Subform to create a list of Attendees on an Event Registration form or a list of family members for an Insurance form. This function is particularly useful when the number of entries required isn’t known, or when it will vary between users.
In this topic, we cover the general properties for this element. Learn about other properties in the Introduction to Validation and Layout Basics.
