RadDataForm JSON Metadata

[Douglas]

I have two questions:

1) on iOS, it looks like JSON metadata specifying "hidden": true is being ignored.

2) Is there anyway to specify styling in the metadata?  I want to specify that labelPosition=Top on iOS.

 

Here is part of my JSON metadata for #1.  Id is showing in the form.

public drillMetadata: any = {
"isReadOnly": false,
"commitMode": "Immediate",
"validationMode": "Immediate",
"propertyAnnotations":
[
{
"name": "id",
"displayName": "ID",
"hidden": true,
},
{
"name": "name",
"displayName": "Name",
"index": 0,
"required": true,
"validators": [{
"name": "MinimumLength",
"params": {
"length": 3
}
}]
},......

Hello Douglas,

When setting the properties via JSON metadata, the key to hiding the property is called ignore.
Change the JSON to use ignore instead of hidden, and it will work as expected on both iOS and Android.
More about all supported properties can be found in this documentation section.

For example, based on the provided JSON

{
    "name": "id",
    "displayName": "ID",
    "ignore": true,
}

Regarding your second question
There is no option to set the styling via the JSON metadata. The available options are via code behind or via inline styles.
The feature of styling controls via metadata is logged here, and I have also upvoted this feature concerning this ticket number.
