Using oScript to create a form

Hi everyone,At the moment we have a module which creates a heavily customized form for user input in LiveLink. The form uses "LiveLink versions" revision and "Initiate Workflow" submission mechanism. We currently copy a pre-created form to make a new form. However, doing so requires user permissions on the source form, which allows users to submit the source form. Hence, we are trying to replace that copy action with a real form creation from the template.The problem is I (who is responsible for the code) don't know how to create a form from a template, and also provide the above revision and submission mechanisms, as well as the workflow map, in oScript.Could anyone help?Thank you,Thanh

Thanh,I was basically able to create a RH mimicking the two screens that one goes thru when you make a form.I have put a document and a working (9.7.1) module here"MakeFormFromTemplate.doc" can be accessed via the following link: https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/Open/16183957Somebody who has more knowledge in this may help you better but in the interest of time you could take a look at my approach as well if you so wish.

Abbu,thanks for your investigation.I wonder if I could have some global constants for LL_StorageMech or LL_SubmitMech. Anyone could confirm that those constants are the same among different LL installations?

Thanh,Here's my inference on that.You use the webnode implementation to create a llnode implementation of form which is under the ospace FORMAPI:Form it gets passed in NodeCreateSubclassPre a assoc called createinfo which is actually coming from the webform so you could theoretically bypass the web implementation and call this directly as well.If you put a break into the createinfo parameter and play with it you could probably end up not needing the webapage to do it almost like a Api level.I did not have time to debug it all the way through so I chose the shortcut.Take a look at how the call is being processed and you might get lucky.
