This is often needed when you need to relate an form with another concept your application project (e.g. you application project has the concept of a report that has an associated form).

...
First you have to get a hold of the form feed from an existing applicationproject. See How do I get the list of all forms for a given applicationproject?
| Code Block |
|---|
FormsService fs = ...;
ApplicationEntry appEntry = ...;
FormTypeFeed ftFeed = appEntry.getFormTypeFeed();
FormTypeEntry newEntry = ftFeed.createEntry();
newEntry.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct("MyForm"));
newEntry.setSummary(new PlainTextConstruct("MyForm Description"));
newEntry = ftFeed.insert(newEntry); |
...
| Note |

You can only insert into a feed that has an explicit owner, which is guaranteed above by getting the FormTypeFeed from the ApplicationEntry as opposed to getting a FormTypeFeed containing forms for all applicationsprojects. |
