Form fields for trigger forms

Form fields of a Trigger-Forms are determined by the respective schema defined for your app. The type inside a JSON schema defines the data format of a field. Furthermore based on this type, form fields are rendered automatically in order to fit the defined format. The supported format types are listed in the section Schema - Types .

To create a trigger form you have to create a schema and afterwards create the form as a new property. How to do this is described here: Tutorial: Create a new form . In the form you can just refer to your schema. All fields and types (including file upload functionality) will be taken over from the schema. See example of form description below:
