Write Transportable Code

If you're developing Formidable applications for clients, taking on a new project that was created by someone else, or looking for an easy way to document form=>field relationships for technical artifacts, this is a tool you will use! This shortcode helps you to write transportable code.

How do we know?

Because we wrote this for our developers and writing transportable code is a key principle of our Masterminds Software Development Standards.

Don't know what "transportable code" is? See: Writing Transportable Code: Keys vs. IDs

Features

Place this shortcode in a post or page and the days of drilling down in the form builder to lookup or edit a field key are over. Yes, that's right! With this tool you can edit form/field keys in an Ajax driven interface. It even checks for duplicate keys so you don't unexpectedly create a situation Formidable can't handle later on.

Display Only

  1. Righteous! Insanely Useful. I Have a Milanote doc for one of my more complex builds where I *manually* map stuff. It’s time consuming. This will be great for generating technical documentation, too. So. Good. Thanks, Masterminds!
