Hi Hüseyin

You should be able to set the value of Forms_ConnectedDataSource on all FormContainerBlock types in the ContentCreating event in an Episerver Intialisation module.

Hello David,

Thanks for your answer. It is possible to get the form container during an initialisation script by casting e.Content to the form container. However, the form block does not contain any property for ConnectedDataSource. Am I looking at the wrong place?

private void OnCreatingContent(object sender, ContentEventArgs e)
{
    if (!(e.Content is CustomFormContainer customFormContainer)) return;
 
    sbgFormContainer. //The object does not expose ConnectedDataSource
}

Hi Hüseyin

Its not exposed as a strongly typed property but you should be able to access it using the property collection. Something like:

((CustomFormContainer)sbgFormContainer).Property["Forms_ConnectedDataSource"] = <<your value here>>

Hi, thanks for the tip!

I see, the property accepts a PropertyConnectedDataSourceCollection object. Is it okay to initiate this only using the ID value? Otherwise, how can I create this object? One alternative can be to hold an instance where I copy the properties from, are there any other ways. 

The collection extends PropertyLongString so you could look at the string value on a configured form and set that in your init module

Hi, unfortunately this did not make any effect.
