deleteForm

@Deprecated
 @Authorized(value="Manage Forms")
void deleteForm(Form form)
                                                        throws APIException

Deprecated. use purgeForm(Form)

Delete form from database. This is included for troubleshooting and low-level system administration. Ideally, this method should never be called — Forms should be retired and not deleted altogether (since many foreign key constraints depend on forms, deleting a form would require deleting all traces, and any historical trail would be lost). This method only clears form roles and attempts to delete the form record. If the form has been included in any other parts of the database (through a foreign key), the attempt to delete the form will violate foreign key constraints and fail.

Parameters:

form -

Throws:

APIException

Finds the FormField defined for this form/concept combination while discounting any form field found in the ignoreFormFields collection This method was added when needing to relate observations to form fields during a display. The use case would be that you know a Concept for a obs, which was defined on a form (via a formField). You can relate the formFields to Concepts easily enough, but if a Form reuses a Concept in two separate FormFields you don't want to only associate that first formField with that concept. So, keep a running list of formFields you've seen and pass them back in here to rule them out.

Parameters:

form - Form that this concept was found on

concept - Concept (question) on this form that is being requested

ignoreFormFields - FormFields to ignore (aka already seen formfields)

force - if true and there are zero matches because all formFields were ignored (because of ignoreFormFields) than the first result is returned

Returns:

Formfield for this concept on this form
