Aliases

pacx form clean

Usage

When you create a new table, the default form comes out with:

• A single tab that has no name
• A single section, in the main tab, that has no name
• The owner field placed directly in the single section
• "Created On", "Created By", "Modified On", "Modified By" fields that are invisible

The current command applies the following changes to the table structure:

• It sets the name attribute on each unnamed tab, starting from the tab label
• It sets the name attribute on each unnamed section, starting from the parent tab name and the section label
• Removes the "Owner" field from the first tab, if present.
• Creates a new tab called "Administration", with a single untitled 2-columns section, containing "Created On", "Created By", "Modified On", "Modified By" and "Owner" fields.

The tab and section names are set only if the tab/section is currently unnamed, and only if the calculated name does not conflicts with a name of another tab/section of the same form.

The "Administration" tab is created only if the form does not contains a tab called tab_admin.

Please note: to update the form the command needs to create a temporary solution in the target environment. The temporary solution is deleted automatically once the operation is complete.
