form layout problems

I am trying to combine different interfaces into one interface, However it keeps return with error with "The contents field on a column layout cannot contain a form layout. Received a form layout at index 1.".

What is the problem, by the way, if there is a rule input boolean value with pending true or false, then how should i fill in the rule!(????). Anyone tell me?

    A Form Layout is in effect the outermost container for a user interface for Start or Task forms. Therefore you cannot have a form layout inside any other interface layout component. It seems like you have a form layout in the contents attribute of a column layout (this is what the message is telling you).

    I don't understand your second point, could you elaborate please?

      a!localVariables(
  local!chooseValue:1,
  local!buttonChoice,
  local!backupuserauditcasttype:rule!KONE_Development_BACKUP_USER_AUDIT_castType(),
  local!userrolecasttype:rule!KONE_Development_USER_ROLE_castType(),
  a!formLayout(
    label:choose(local!chooseValue,"KONE Maintenanence System","Registration System","Update System","Delete System"),
    contents:{
      a!radioButtonField(
        label: "Please Choose",
        labelPosition: "COLLAPSED",
        choiceLabels: {"Registration", "Update","Delete"},
        choiceValues: {"Registration", "Update","Delete"},
        value:local!buttonChoice,
        saveInto: {a!save(target:local!buttonChoice,value:save!value),
                  if(local!buttonChoice="Registration",
                  a!save(target:local!chooseValue,value:2),
                  if(local!buttonChoice="Update",
                  a!save(target:local!chooseValue,value:3),
                  if(local!buttonChoice="Delete",
                  a!save(target:local!chooseValue,value:4),
                  {}
                  )
                  )
                  ) 
                  },
        choiceLayout: "STACKED",
        validations: {}
      ),
    a!imageField(
      label: "Image",
      labelPosition: "COLLAPSED",
      images: {
        a!documentImage(
          document: cons!KONE_IMAGE01
        )
      },
      showWhen:local!chooseValue=1,
      size: "LARGE",
      isThumbnail: false,
      style: "STANDARD"
    ),
    
      rule!KONE_Development_Insert_Interface(backupuseraudit:local!backupuserauditcasttype, userrole:local!userrolecasttype,
      submit:true(),
      )
    }
  ),
)

      Though i didn't a!formLayout inside contents but it is still report. The second one is what shall I put inside the interface rule!KONE_Development_insert_Interface() bracket? The submit as boolean value processed through inside the interface, no one know whether it is true or false, then how should i do?

      If rule!KONE_Development_Insert_Interface() contains an a!formLayout() then this is why you are getting the message. Referencing code in another rule is like having copied/pasted that code into your current code, so that's almost certainly why you are getting the validation message.

      Without looking inside your contained rule I cannot comment ion what it is doing with the submit: true() value you are passing to it.

        Only the main interface should use a!formLayout(). The sub-interfaces should use a!columnsLayout() or a!sectionLayout() or a!cardLayout() or a!boxLayout() depending on the requirememt
