Class: esri/form/FormTemplate
Inheritance: FormTemplate Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.16

A FormTemplate formats and defines the content of a FeatureForm for a specific Layer or Graphic. A FormTemplate allows the user to access values from feature attributes and values returned from Arcade expressions when a feature in the view is selected.

The FormTemplate can be set directly on a FeatureLayer, a FeatureForm, or its view model. The template consists of various elements that display a specific type of form data.

// Create the Form template and pass in elements
  const formTemplate = new FormTemplate({
  title: "Inspector report",
  description: "Enter all relevant information below",
  elements: [groupElement] // Add all elements to the template
});

// Add a new feature form with grouped fields
const form = new FeatureForm({
  container: "form",
  groupDisplay: "sequential", // only display one group at a time
  formTemplate: formTemplate // set it to template created above
});
