Understanding the Role of Fields vs Forms in a Register

Inside a Register, I see both “Register Fields” and “Forms.” What’s the difference between these two? Aren’t fields and forms the same thing?

They’re related but not the same.

Register Fields define the data structure — basically the columns of your register.

Forms control how those fields are displayed to users during data entry.

So fields are the backend structure, and forms are the frontend layouts?

Exactly.

So if I add a new field, I may need to update the form to display it?

Not automatically. It just enables the integration capability. The actual workflow logic still needs to be configured.

That clears up a lot. I was confused about why both options existed.
