CreateForm Input Tree Properties

[eydeak]

Is it possible to access the Input Tree Properties in Designer?

You can see all of the PDF properties in the Input Tree:

But I'm not finding a way to utilize them. I can't drag them onto the design page for display. And I've tried to create derived variables to use them, but they don't show up in the condition builder.

I've also tried to do a display condition on a field, but they don't show up in the Condition Builder there either.

It seems weird that they would be there but not be accessible somehow, so I think I must be missing something.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ellen

I think that is one of the undocumented or hard to find things in the Cform app. The settings are in the Bottomline Technologies\Create!form\Win32User\JDEHeaderparams.cfg file. Just find your file, open with text editor and remove semicolon to activate the metadata var. I always add JobNumber to the list since it is a handy thing to have and is missing from the file.

The development apps (Cdesigner/Ctranform/Cdirector) and server apps (CformServer/CemailServer) use that .cfg file so if you have multiple Cform Servers make sure the updated file is on both/all servers.
