Utilizing Deployment Parameters in Form workspace

Hey ya'll,

 

I've been playing around with deployment parameters in Flow and Form but I have been wondering if it's possible to use an existing deployment parameter in Form, without a database connection that has the same credentials?

 

So for example accesing database X through deployment parameters without having database X defined in your local database connections. I've tried to but to no avail.

Hope this is possible.

As far as I know, it’s not possible to use a database connection stored on Flow when running the workspace on Form. You need to have a corresponding database connection on Form when running the workspace. I’m guessing this is partially for security reasons.

You can override the Flow deployment parameter value by double-clicking on the deployment parameter in Form and giving it a local value. You can then specify a local database connection, regardless of the name or connection parameters.
