We're pleased to announce that a new version of Alpha TransFrom has been released. As with every release, we continue to focus on improving Alpha TransForm. This release includes several notable changes, bug fixes, and performance enhancements.
One of Alpha TransForm's strengths is the speed with which you can create forms from a simple list of questions using Quickstart Text. We've enhanced the Quickstart Text markup to include a new option for setting a field's name in addition to the field's data type and choices. Field names are defined using a double-bracket syntax placed at the end of the line defining a field.
You can use the new [[Fieldname]] button located above the Quickstart Text editor to quickly insert the new markup. The value within the brackets is used to populate the field's Field Name property.
Meaningful field names are important when working with form data using TPL or outside the TransForm ecosystem. If not specified, fields are assigned the default field name "fieldN" where N is a number. For example, "field1".
