Reading display texts from Database

[goffley3]

We have a database with form questions that we use in a few different contexts. I'm curious if anyone has come up with a way to have the form read and display the text from a database. Or even to be able to submit form field directly to a database other than the formtools one.

Hey goffley, interesting scenario.

The field labels are all stored in the Form Tools database, of course, but the interface always pulls from that field when displaying the field labels - so it's the same in all contexts. I'm trying to think of how you'd ideally do this from a UI point of view... maybe the option to override field labels on a per-View basis?

That might be interesting. I suppose what I am looking to do is have the display text for one question be read from a database. So for example, I have a form with several questions. I have the text of those questions stored in a database, and I'm wondering if in formtools if there is a way to pull the text from that database and have it as the display value in the form.

The other question I had was if there is a way to submit the data entered into a form into another database besides the formtools database. Without it, I have to create custom scripts to transfer the data to another database.

There is a really good news for all Saudi pupils, We want to try out online dissertation writing services for numerous reasons. I have seen many forums and blogs in which a Saudi student is concerned about jobs specifically cipd students, and the activities another country has a payment case.
