Render metadata to form's HTML element
Describes the ability to render metadata to extend functionality of each form.
Note
Optimizely Forms is only supported by MVC-based websites and HTML5-compliant browsers.
You can extend the functionality of each form. This feature:
- Lets an editor set configuration values for a form as extra metadata. Access this field on a form container from All Properties view > Settings tab.
- Renders that metadata as aÂ
data-epiforms-metadata
 attribute on the root element of the <form> tag in edit view. - You can write code to modify the form based on the metadata. For example:
- Change the layout of elements from vertical to horizontal. To do this, an editor inserts horizontalin the metadata.
- Change the background color based on metadata.
