Ability to Pre-fill Data on Forms Using Plugin API

When you open a form using the Plugin API, you can save your users time by pre-filling certain fields with the values you define. This ensures accuracy and speeds up data entry for mobile workers.

To send the pre-defined values to a form, you must use the backFormParams parameter within your Plugin API call. The backFormParams parameter carries the instructions for which form fields to fill and what values to use.

You must define each field and its value using the same syntax as the validation or default rules configured on the form.

The field name must be specified in the format:$\text{\{entity.field\_label\}}$

For example, you define the field and its corresponding value: $\text{\{'Customer.Name': 'John Doe'\}}$

This pre-filling feature is the equivalent of configuring the 'Parameters' option you might use on a button (such as, in Activity or Inventory details).
