There are times when it would be nice to programmatically set the value for a form field when displaying it on a page. A recent release now lets you do that through the form's API tag. 

One of the major features of Aptuitiv Studio is the ability to create custom administration forms for pages and apps to fit the data requirements of a particular website.

For example, if you have a page that needs more structured content then a rich text editor can provide, you can create a Content Block Layout for pages and create the form fields that you need. There are the standard fields like select menus, text boxes, textareas and the like. There are also unique fields that allow you to select from a list of Snippets, Navigation Menus and Collection Widgets to include on the page.

We just published 2 small updates to the Forms app in Aptuitiv Studio. The first allows you to set one or more BCC email addresses for the administrator notification email.  The other allows you to choose whether or not you want to automatically include file attachments on the administrator notification email.

We just published a small update to the form functionality in Aptuitiv Studio. If you have a form where your website visitors can upload files, the only way that you could remove those files from your website was to delete the entire form submission.

Not anymore.

Sometimes when you're building a form you need to set an id or a class on the <form> tag. That's usually done for styling or for attaching some Javascript to the form. It's now easier than ever to do that with Aptuitiv Studio.

Sliced Design, one of our partners, recently contacted us with a great feature request. They were building a site with a contact form that needed to have some dynamic default values for some of it's fields. In the site they have links to the form that look like this: site.com/contact?name=Joe. They needed to have the "Name" text box automatically filled with the value from the "name" URL parameter.

Now on the surface this isn't that bad of a request. In their form template they could simply put in some logic to see if the {#global.request.get.name} value exists and then set the value for the Name field. Their request was to make this easier. They simply wanted to set the variable as the default value when setting up the form field.
