Dynamically add fields to a form on render

Vote:
 

Hi,

My client wants to use data from the page to dynamically add fields to a form (form is to register for a seminar, the seminar has agenda blocks which are rendered on screen), the forms will be radio buttons/check boxes to select which agenda items they wish to attend. Has anyone done anything similar to this? Essentially adding fields on render.

Thanks

Andy

You can implement the IFeedProvider and IFeed to dynamically load in custom values into the Selection Element Blocks 

e.g. 

    [ServiceConfiguration(ServiceType = typeof(IFeed))]
    public class AnimalAgeFeed : IFeed, IUIEntityInEditView
    {
        public string ID => "A984BE22-C761-4944-AF24-ED8C040BD519";

        public string Description { get; set; } = "Animal age feed";

        public string ExtraConfiguration { get; }

        public string EditViewFriendlyTitle => Description;

        public bool AvailableInEditView => true;

// Hard coded but you can any business logic here i.e. to get values from parent page
        public IEnumerable<IFeedItem> LoadItems()
        {
            yield return new FeedItem { Key = "puppy", Value = "Puppy" };
            yield return new FeedItem { Key = "kitten", Value = "Kitten" };
            yield return new FeedItem { Key = "adult", Value = "Adult" };
            yield return new FeedItem { Key = "senior", Value = "Senior" };
            yield return new FeedItem { Key = "any", Value = "Any" };
        }
    }
    public class CustomFeedProvider : IFeedProvider
    {
        public IEnumerable<IFeed> GetFeeds()
        {
            return new IFeed[] {
                new AnimalAgeFeed(),
            };
        }
    }
