Feature Request: Test Server setting in Forms Config

posted on December 1, 2022 Show version history

It would be a tremendous help to your larger customers and VARs if there was a checkbox in Forms Config labeled something like "Run as a Test Server". When the box is checked the Forms server will redirect all email and user tasks in all Forms processes to the instance initiator. 

We have a large and complex Forms environment, and we have both a test server and a production server. Development is done on the Test server, and then once we get through UAT and all the processes are exported, and then imported into production. 

The issue we have is I have to do a lot of complex stuff with our 100+ Forms processes with hidden fields and workflows and javascript and field rules so that when we're creating or modifying processes in our TEST environment emails or tasks area always sent to the start form submitter instead of the people they would go to in production.

It would save us a tremendous amount of time and stress if we have a checkbox in our Forms Test server configuration and/or a checkbox in Forms Process Options that would send all emails and assign all tasks to the start form submitter.

I think this would be more useful as a business process setting like you showed in the second screenshot. I can definitely see the utility in a feature like this because I run into similar issues in our test environment, however, I wouldn't want it to be a global behavior because for the final stages of testing I usually want to test a process with Teams and other users to do a complete run through.
