Prefill Service in Adaptive Forms by AEM Blog | Lhotse Technologies

Abstract

In this blog, I want to share how we can use the Prefill Service feature in adaptive forms.

What is the use of Prefill Service?
It is used to prepopulate the form with given values.

How to create Prefill Service?
For creating prefill service you need to create an osgi component. For example:-
In my form I have two text boxes.

So to prefill these values while Preview, I am making the osgi component. My class name is MyPrefillAdaptiveForm.class
