FormResource (OpenMRS 2.5.0-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.openmrs.BaseOpenmrsObject
- - org.openmrs.FormResource

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, CustomValueDescriptor, SingleCustomValue<FormResource>, OpenmrsObject
```
public class FormResource
extends BaseOpenmrsObject
implements CustomValueDescriptor, SingleCustomValue<FormResource>
```
A FormResource is meant as a way for modules to add arbitrary information to a Form. FormResources are essentially just key-value pairs. The value is stored as a custom datatype. A Form can have 0-n FormResources but only one FormResource per name per Form. The name of a resource specifies one of many resources that can be stored for a particular owner. Only one resource for each name will ever be saved.

Since:

1.9
