you can do this approach

-> create a hidden multi-line text variable and always hide it on catalog and RITM form

-> when user submits questions in custom widget, your widget can set value in that hidden variable using below syntax. store in JSON format

{

"htmlquestion1name":"abel",

"htmlquestion2email":"abel.tuter@example.com",

"htmlquestion3phone":"80p"

}

Something like this in client controller to set

$scope.page.g_form.setValue('hiddenVariable', JSONSTRING);

-> then when RITM form opens, the widget can grab the variable value, parse it and again set it with whatever values user had submitted during catalog form submission

something like this in client controller to grab

$scope.page.g_form.getValue('hiddenVariable');

I believe I provided enough guidance on your poc and you can take it further from here based on your requirement and developer skills.

But how do I populate that questions in widget I am stuck with that like when user selects application then it should fetch data from custom table and then populate that in widget

you can observe/watch within widget which observes if outside variable got changed or not

see below working solution

Widget that reacts to onChange event of Variable
