Form definition - 5 UI

Deprecated

This form definition has been deprecated since Magnolia 6.0. It is part of the Magnolia 5 UI framework.

For the updated implementation, see Form definition for Magnolia 6 UI instead.

The form definition defines the tabs and fields in a dialog.

Form properties

Simple form definition with two tabs, a title (plain text) and text (rich text) and a link field to link to an asset from DAM.
