Interactive Forms

Page 74 of 860

However, with the exception described above, field names must be unique within the hierarchy

in which they appear. This is especially important when multiple Interactive Forms are

imported.

When importing multiple Interactive Forms it is highly recommended to check for invalid

duplicate field names. This can be done with the function CheckFieldNames(). The function

returns the handle of the first field which contains a field name that is already in use. You can

then change the field name with SetFieldName() and execute CheckFieldNames() again until all

invalid field names are changed.

After changing a field name you must also check whether the field is used within a JavaScript

Action or function. Such scripts must be changed so that they do not become invalid. Due to the

possible references of fields within JavaScript functions and Actions, merging of Interactive

Forms is very complicated and should be avoided whenever possible.
