Overview
The Form component serves as a container for capturing user input. To utilize its functionality, you must associate the Form with a model (Salesforce Object). Once linked, the fields from the selected object will appear on the left side of the interface. You can then drag and drop these fields into the Form, where they will be displayed for user interaction.
Additionally, you can add multiple actions to the Form, such as buttons. One of these actions can be designated as the primary action, allowing you to define the main function or submission behavior of the Form.
