Form author with access to two apps only sees forms in the first one, in the Form Builder summary page

[avernet]

• user ab with roles a and b
• form-builder-permissions.xml with <role name="a" app="a" form="*"/> and <role name="b" app="b" form="*"/>
• on FB's new page, ab can create forms in a or b: good
• however, on FB's summary page, ab only sees forms in a: not good ab should also see forms in b

To see forms in b, user can click on Show search options and select b from the Application name dropdown, but this is hard to find (users expect to see all the forms they have access to right away).

Note:

• $initial-app-value takes the value of the first app user has access to
• issue is that right now the search API doesn't have or operations (i.e. app = ('a', 'b'))

I just hit this one again during testing of 4.3, and it is very confusing.

Also, even if we just opened by default the structured search, it wouldn't be possible to combine this with the regular search. So we need a better solution.

At least investigate to see what it takes, both with eXist and relational.

Putting 1 point for investigation.

+1 from me again during testing.

The Form Runner Summary page for Form Builder should probably show the dropdown whether the structured search section is open or not.

Confused by this again, in the context of #6518. Possible fix:

• show the app name selector outside structured search
• don't show the app name selector inside structured search

Ideally, the Search API would support searching app being 'a' or 'b' or 'c', and we could show all forms in single list.

Check if we can close this. Maybe:
