New object editor elements Topic is solved

[mih]

I've found some new object editor elements, not mentioned in docs. Who knows or used them , please give some clearance.
1. New object type "ContentBox" - what it does, how to use (put value).
2. New object type "WYSIWYG editor" - as I understand it's a rich text editor, has a link to data column. What data type of column is needed?
3. Attributes field - what each attr. does?

Hi mih,

1. Contentbox:

The Contentbox object is used to group related form elements within a form. It provides a way to visually and semantically group form controls (such as text inputs, checkboxes, textareas, etc.) together.
The main purposes are as follows:

Grouping Form Controls: Contentbox allows you to group form controls that are related to a specific task or purpose, making it easier for users to understand and interact with the form. For example, if you have a form for entering personal information, you can use a Contentbox to group fields like name, email, and phone number together.

Providing a Title: The Contentbox title, which is displayed on top of a Contenbox, provides a descriptive title or caption for the group of form objects. This title helps users understand the purpose of the grouped controls. For example, you might have a title like "Contact Information" for a set of form fields related to contacting a person.

2. WYSIWYG

Consider using MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT data types based on your text data size requirements.

MEDIUMTEXT and LONGTEXT are data types used to store large amounts of text data. They are part of the TEXT data type family, which includes TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, and LONGTEXT, with each type allowing for progressively larger storage capacities. Here's an explanation of MEDIUMTEXT and LONGTEXT:

MEDIUMTEXT: MEDIUMTEXT is a data type used for storing medium-sized text content, such as large paragraphs of text, articles, or other textual data. It can store up to 16,777,215 (2^24 - 1) characters. This makes it suitable for handling relatively large text fields but not extremely large ones.

LONGTEXT: LONGTEXT is a data type used for storing very large text content, such as full-length books, lengthy documents, or extremely long textual data. It can store up to 4,294,967,295 (2^32 - 1) characters, making it suitable for handling even the largest text fields.

3. Attributes:
