Modern Designer: New Submission tab title text

asked on February 18, 2022

Is there a way to edit the title text like we could with javascript in the modern designer? If not are we still expected to do this with javascript in the future or can we just build this functionality into the form designer or process designer?

It is not supported currently. Can you share with us the use case of customizing it? For example, what title you want to change it to?

Most designers change the title via javascript to something relevant for the form they are designing. Typically the form title. We can wait for javascript support in the modern designer and continue to add the js in every single form we build or you could add a feature to customize the tab title.

As Lexie mentioned, we typically change the page title for our forms to something other than "New Submission" to make it align with the form title.

I understand the use case now. Forms uses the name of the user task as the document title when open a user task. It will be easier for us to change the document title to use the message start event name without supporting customization. Will this work for you?

Yes! That will work.

@████████ I think using the Message Start Event name is a good option, but it might be better as an optional setting, like with a checkbox, since people might prefer "New Submission" over it defaulting to "Message Start Event" on all of their existing forms if they hadn't changed that.

I agree with @████████ - I'd love the option, but only as an option, because I don't like the idea of a bunch of stuff that I haven't renamed showing "Message Start Event" - that's a step backwards from "New Submission".

Would you mind sharing the Javascript you use to change that?

$('title').text('Enter custom title here');

Does anyone know what the JavaScript needs to be in the new Forms Designer to accomplish this?

@████████ they added a changeFormSettings method to the LFForm object (depending on which version of Forms you're running).

LFForm.changeFormSettings({title: "New Form Title", description: "New Form Description"});


Update: as Matthew mentioned, this is for the form title. I don't know that they've added the option yet, but I remember it being discussed.

Hey @████████ - isn't that for the Form's title, not the page title that is shown on the browser tab?

Last I heard, it was still on the backlog of enhancement requests.

Yup, you're right. I remembered them talking about this scenario and got ahead of myself lol.

Thanks Matthew and Jason. Seems like this should be an easy thing to do since in the Classic Form designer it's one line of code. This is just one other thing holding us back from using the new Forms designer!
