What the functionality of form attribute "?basename"

Hi,

I'm just curious the functionality of "?basename" of a form that created by "hiCreateAppform" or "hiCreateLayoutForm", can anyone explain this with some example code? I would be much appreciate. 

Thanks,

James

    The ?basename functionality in a form created by hiCreateAppform or hiCreateLayoutForm is used to retrieve the base name of the form. This is typically useful when you need to access or manipulate the form's properties or methods dynamically.

    Here's a simple example to illustrate how ?basename works:

    // Assuming you have created a form using hiCreateAppform
    var myForm = hiCreateAppform("myFormName", {
    // form properties and configurations
    });

    // Use ?basename to get the base name of the form
    var baseName = myForm.?basename;

    // Example of using the base name in a function
    function displayFormBaseName(form) {
    console.log("The base name of the form is: " + form.?basename);
    }

    displayFormBaseName(myForm);

    I'm sorry but the above is confusing and misleading: 'var' and 'function' are not SKILL commands, and the syntax that you have used is not SKILL either - what language is this supposed to be, and how would it be used with a SKILL-based form?

    Best regards,

    Lawrence

    Lawrence,

    I’d ignore it as it looks as if it was generated by chatGPT or similar. The comment characters are also wrong and it is nonsense…

    I do wonder what the point of answering questions like this is!
