Joget DX 8 Stable Released
The stable release for Joget DX 8 is now available, with a focus on UX and Governance.
Enhanced Grid Form Element extends the default functionalities of a typical grid element. Unlike the generic grid element that only accepts standard text field as its inputs, this Enhanced Grid Form Element captures data by making reference to another form element. Hence, one can take full advantage of what a typical form element has to offer, e.g. validation, formatting.
