Customizing Form Runner messages directly from Form Builder

Orbeon Forms allows you to override and customize messages by using configuration properties. For instance, you can customize the message displayed when a form is saved successfully by setting the oxf.fr.resource.*.*.en.detail.messages.save-success property.

Starting with Orbeon Forms 2023.1, you can now customize Form Runner messages directly from Form Builder, using the new “Messages” dialog available from the “Advanced” tab in the toolbox.

This is more convenient than doing it using properties, especially when the customization applies only to a single form, or when different customizations are needed for different forms.

Here you can specify messages for the different languages supported by your form. You can set the predefined messages, but also custom messages that can be reached through the success-message() and error-message() actions.

For more, see the documentation.

We hope you will like this enhancement, which will be available later this year in Orbeon Forms 2023.1!

Right-aligning number and currency fields

When dealing with numbers, it is often useful to right-align them. Until Orbeon Forms 2022.1, this was only doable with cumbersome custom CSS. Since Orbeon Forms 2022.1.1, we have made this much easier! The Control Settings for number and currency fields now shows a new “Field alignment” setting:

The result is that the fields with the “Right” setting are, well, right-aligned, which makes columns of numbers much easier to read:

The setting is, like all control settings, available also at the form level:

This also works for fields within a repeated grid, with the column heading automatically aligned as well:

We hope you will like this enhancement!
