  • FieldName (required): This string links the Form Template Part to a Field in the form's entity. For this input property, replace the <Required> default with Name of an Entity Field that meets the requirements for a Data Combo Box. Note that if this field is not required in the entity, then a blank option will be available in the drop-down list. If required, then no blank option will appear and the field will default to the first value in the list for new records. See Data Combo Drop-down List for more information.
  • ShowLabel (required): When set to 1, the specified LabelCaption appears on the form. When set to 0, the LabelCaption does not appear. This input property defaults to 1.

  • DisplaySQL (required): This property specifies a SQL statement that returns the fields to display in the data combo box's drop-down list.
