Hi,

Try using the following instead…

var  scopedRoot = config.scoped["cm:content"]["forms"].childrenMap["form"];
var configs = scopedRoot.getChildren("appearance");‍‍

Apologies, the code I suggested above won't work either. The forms configuration uses specific ConfigElement implementations, not the generic ones (GenericConfigElement), therefore getChildren() and getChildrenMap() won't return anything.

I'm not sure from your example what information you are trying to retrieve, the code below will allow you to get a list of fields that will be editable in edit mode.

var scopedRoot = config.scoped["cm:content"];
var forms = scopedRoot["forms"];
var form = forms.defaultForm;
var visibleFields = form.visibleEditFieldNames;‍‍‍‍

The object you get back from scopedRoot["forms"] is org.alfresco.web.config.forms.FormsConfigElement you can have a look at it to see what methods are available to you, in the example above I have used getDefaultForm(). The object you then get back is org.alfresco.web.config.forms.FormConfigElement, this has quite a few methods you can call to get config information, in the example above i've used getVisibleEditFieldNames().

Hope this helps!

Thank you for such informative reply. Here is my situation: I have both "node-type" and "model-type" evaluator sections in my config, but

scopedRoot["forms"]‍

returns forms only for "model-type". I.e. if I have form with some id only in node-type section I cant get it. How can I do this?
