Create a custom user input form

Create a custom form to get user input. This will generate a link which can be distributed for input. When used with the 'Wait for a response from a custom user form' the Wrkflow will wait for a form submission before continuing.

The Wrk Action gathers all input and select elements within the Form content and processes each element individually to build a structured JSON response.

Key Assignment:

Each input field should have a name attribute, which is used as the key in the form response. This requirement ensures that each field has a unique and consistent identifier.

Behaviour for Each Input Type:

1. Radio Buttons:

   • Only the selected (checked) radio button in each group is included in the form response.

   <!-- Example HTML for Radio Buttons --><input type="radio" name="color" value="red" checked><input type="radio" name="color" value="blue">

   // Resulting JSON { "color": "red" }

2. Checkboxes:

   • For checkboxes with the same name, all checked values are stored together in an array.

   <!-- Example HTML for Checkboxes --><input type="checkbox" name="hobbies" value="reading" checked><input type="checkbox" name="hobbies" value="sports" checked><input type="checkbox" name="hobbies" value="music">

   // Resulting JSON { "hobbies": ["reading", "sports"] }

3. Other Input Types (e.g., Text, Select Dropdowns):

   • Each input's value is stored in the form response under the key specified by the name.
   • Note textareas are not supported

   <!-- Example HTML for Text and Select Dropdown --><input type="text" name="username" value="John">  Canada  USA

   // Resulting JSON {   "username": "John",  "country": "Canada"}

4. File Inputs:

   • File inputs can accept up to 5GB of data for a single file upload.
