Hi There, I was wondering if I could get some clarification around so

The reference to "form fields" in the documentation applies to forms created using the Forms Designer. It needs to be modified for SAIL forms, so we'll update the docs to clarify.

Jin: Your understanding of the docs is correct when it comes to forms created using the Forms Designer.

Angad's understanding is correct when it comes to forms created using SAIL Forms.

With SAIL Forms, we've improved the behavior such that you're able to follow the best practice of querying your data from the database once to populate your CDT, then use it as the default value of each SAIL form field. So to support the use case described in the original post, we recommend that you either switch to using SAIL forms, or query for the data in a separate node before the user input task.

We'll add the SAIL Form vs. Forms Designer clarification to the documentation.
