Attach form to database

Hi

I’ve looked at the docs and the videos for about 45 minutes, but specifically I want guidance how to add a form, inputs and then post data into my database. What is the best practice in Momen to add data, and how to add related data correctly as part of a submission to a table with related fields.

It would also help if there was an option to seed my database with some basic data, that I can use to support and stay focused on UI development.

One suggestion: enable the table component to “add” rows to the database without any additional UI work. That way, I can quickly add data and check that the data model is correct.

When building a new idea, I want to focus on representing the data into the user interface instead of wrestling with data submission. Yet I need to ensure the data structure is correct, the fastest way to do that is to see how the data is going to be presented… but if I can’t get data into Momen quickly, it’s frustrating.

Hello, sorry for replying late. Regarding your question, are you suggesting that there’s a way to “mock” some data in the database? If so, this is part of an AI copilot plan we’ll be launching within this year. It will allow you to interact with Momen using natural language, including generating some simple data.

Additionally, if you need best practices on how to create forms to add data, you can refer to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3f53WZ-FZ4

The video is going fast, there’s important steps that I can’t really see and understand. I could really use a documented approach so I can perform this fundamental, differentiating task. Once I can configure the database, I can move on to the AI capabilities which possibly depend on the data.

It is time consuming to work out how to do it in the product, though I am sure the feature is there. Perhaps a slower, more focused video or some docs would be a good idea?

Here is the text version of the video, hope it is helpful to you. let me know if you have further question. How to build dynamic multi-choice forms for quizzes and surveys in Momen

We intentionally do not provide airtable-like components.
All user interface has to be designed.
Because there will be feature requests for a million things once we open up that route.
