Turning off auto resizing
Auto-resizing is extremely convenient since the form will automatically resize to take up as much horizontal and vertical space as it needs. This can be very useful for forms that have collapsible sections, multiple Tabs, repeat controls etc. and where user actions can alter the vertical space. However, in cross-domain environments where Confluence and frevvo are running in different containers or on different machines, auto-resizing requires adding a URI fragment to the browser URL. The fragment looks something like: #632:234:form-1304106048646 where the numbers can be different. This can affect URLs that you may be using that already contain URI fragments since the frevvo URI fragment will overwrite your URI fragment.
To fix this, you will have to disable auto-resizing. This means that if the form does not fit in its alloted area, scroll bars will automatically appear. To turn off resizing, set the parameter resize=false and specify an initial height and width using the height and width parameters e.g.....resize=false|height=250|width=632|... The form will be rendered with the specified height and width and will never resize. frevvo will not alter the browser's URL either.

It is important to note that a form/workflow submission can be edited by any Confluence user using the Edit link from template. For Example, a workflow created with 2 activities A1 (employee) -> A2(manager), submitted by an employee, can be edited by any other employee by clicking the "Edit" link generated through template. The workflow data can be edited and the workflow submitted again. This is as designed.

The Save/Load Feature cannot be used together with this Edit link. You cannot edit a form using this link, save the partially edited form and continue later. |

Forms and workflows can have repeating data. For example, a person may have multiple nick names.
