Hello,

 

Could you do me a favor?

I am wondering what is the difference between ' Edit' mode and ' New' mode to build a customized form? 

 

Fuctionally, it is the same when I published a form.

    Hi @happyyear ,

    A form can exist in many Modes by simply sending a command - NewForm(FormName), EditForm(FormName) or ViewForm(FormName), which puts the form into the nominated Mode. The difference in functionality between the first two is that when SubmitForm(FormName) is used, Edit Mode updates the existing record displayed, whereas New Mode creates a new record with the data entered by the user. You can also set the DefaultMode of the Form however all this does is put the form in that mode initially and the user can change it with the commands above.
