Examples

// Example of loading another form schema and displaying an alert with the form name
LOADFORM({ name: 'Some Reference Form' }, function (error, result) {
  if (error) {
    // Handle the error
    console.error('Failed to load form:', error);
  } else {

    // Display an alert with the form name
    ALERT(`Loaded ${form.name} schema`);

Usage

The LOADFORM function is typically used when you need to interact with or manipulate other forms programmatically. This can be useful for schema validation, or any other scenario where access to another form's properties and methods is required.
For example, you might use this functionality to load a reference form's schema to validate data against its structure or to dynamically create forms based on existing templates.
