Is is possible to have multiple form components on a single page in the Now Experience UI Builder?

I have a scenario in which I would like to present two forms for two related records from two separate tables on a single page in UI Builder.  When I add both form components to the page all appears to render correctly in the UI Builder workspace, but upon previewing the page, the second form always presents an error that the component is not configured.  I have tried with different tables, setting it up the same way on a test page, but all with the same results.  Has anyone had success with this scenario or know if this is possibly an undocumented issue?

Hi Dana,

I have heard of some issues with multiple form data resources on the same page, but don't have a lot of specifics, unfortunately. 

One thing you might look into is viewports, which basically load a sandboxed subpage in a viewport area. This might allow you to bypass the issue of multiple form data resources while still showing two forms at once. You can use page properties and events to pass data from the parent page to the subpage and vice versa.

None of these posts mention any limitations to the number of form components on a page or issues there may be with multiple form components.

I am also having this issue. This is a limitation of the UI builder tool. I imagine multiple forms on a page  is somehting the graphQL architectrue used in UIB should be able to achieve. 

 

It would be great to know if there are any solutions or future plans.  Thanks
