Can a form field NOT be a database field

Confluence User - 12 May, 2016

I am new to joget. Looking at the documentation, it seems that values from e.g. radio, are stored in the form's data table using the radio's ID plus a constant string as c_'ID'.

I am trying to use radio to select a "sort by" option for a grid on the form and have provided hardcoded options. Will the radio still create a column in the form's table? If this behavior is universal how should I implement by sort options?

Hi,

When a form is submitted, a Store Binder determines how the data is handled. The default Form Store Binder stores all form fields in the database. You could put that radio into a separate Section, which then uses a custom Store Binder that does not do anything (e.g. an empty Bean Shell Form Binder?)

Instead of a normal grid, you could also use one of the other more advanced grids like the List GridForm Grid or Advanced Grid which already provide sortable columns.

Thank you for your prompt answer. I am using the Community Edition. Are the three grids you reference available for it? They do not appear in my list of form elements and I don't see them on the marketplace.

Having gotten further into my application, I have discovered that the Database Builder, each column has a sortable option. Hopefully this will simplify my task (using Community).
