This function edits a Form Instance, and the Form is resubmitted with the updated data. 

Select the Form Instance from the list, then click Actions > Edit. 

The Form Instance is rendered on the new page for submission. Alternatively, a previously submitted form instance can be selected for editing. Note: The “mode” attribute in the URL is set to “submit,” and the form instance data can be modified and resubmitted. 

Click the “Submit” button. The Form Instance is updated with the changes, and a confirmation message is displayed. 

Select the Form Instance again, then click View > Render. 

The Form Instance is rendered on the new page for preview in read-only mode. Note that the “mode” attribute in the URL is set to “Render,” and the Form Instance data is read-only. 

Bind Form Instance data to Form Fields.

Using a “param.variable” reference, we can bind values to form fields in the URL. 

Let's consider the Form Definition below.  As noted, the form fields display placeholders in the “param.variable” format.  

To bind the form fields to data at runtime, we need to configure the placeholders, as shown in the example below. 

Select “Actions > Create Form Instance” to generate and execute a new instance. Select the “Edit” checkbox to enter the form field values.

The form instance is rendered on a new page. Note that the “mode” attribute in the URL is set to “Submit,” and the form instance is in edit mode. 

Add the “param.variable” values to the URL to bind data to the form fields, then refresh the page.
