Form Content Management #12804

Closed short000 closed 2 months ago

short000 commented 4 years ago

User story

As a non-technical person, I want to be able to change content on the form (content limited to wording of the question) so that I can quickly make updates to the content without involving development resources.

Additional details/notes/links

A way to config forms content that does not require a developer. The idea is that it shouldn't take a developer to update the content that is on a form.

Value: it reduces time and resources for changes to happen in the form. As well let developers work on more, non-trivial problems.

Impact if not done: developers are heavily involved with minor updates to the form and non-technical folks have to wait till a developer gets to it.

Stretch goal: make the entire form loadable from a JSON object so it can stored, modified and managed by some other system.

Suggestion: give the option to load the form data from either a headless CMS or some sort of API. the biggest hurdle here would be the functionality that is baked into the form.js as functions. These would need to be abstracted in a more declarative based approached.

Acceptance criteria

TBD

@cvalarida @caw310 I believe this is something y'all discussed a couple months ago; feel free to consolidate this if you have another relevant ticket.
