Hello,
we are thinking about using CDMs in an overview only, since it fits our use case very well. We don’t plan to have form models basing on a composed document model. I am wondering about this passage in the documentation:
“Customizing of Form Model elements (by way of the FormModelMap) does not work in combination with CDM. Trying to do so might result in errors.”
Does this limitation only affect the form engine when the form model is acutally based on a cdm or is it also in effect when we use a cdm on another place in our application?
Thanks in advance!

Hey @eva-solid-surge,
after consulting @chris-long-packet, I can confirm that your usecase should work.
You can have an overview, that is based on a CDM, and open a “regular” form from this.
The limitation stated in the docu only comes into place, if you also use a CDM as reference in the form you show in the detail activity. Moreover, the limitation will hopefully soon be lifted.

Hey @felix-blazing-river ,
we’re setting up a new project currently and are considering the pros and cons of working with CDMs. In your previous comment, you mention that the limitation that the FormModelMap doesn’t work with Form Models based on CDMs will hopefully be lifted soon. Has this already happened? I checked the documentation and the disclaimer mentioned by Eva is still included.
Best,
Lea
Hey @lea-clear-clover, yes, the limitation is still present.
