Improvement for Web Request Control & SQL Request Control
Been working with both of these controls a lot lately and thought that I might post ideas for improvement I think these controls needs:
Ability to append data to text fields, currently if the form have 10 fields that collects data from external Webservice or SQL, we will need to implement 10 Controls in the form, which don't make form user friendly at all, and don't forget the massive loading time.
Ability to use validation based on {self}, currently we had to name every control and create a rule for each control, instead of creating one and append it to all
Ability to make the controls run only once, especially in repeating sections, currently every time we edit the form, it try to reload the data from SQL/webservice, sometime not desired behaviour because external data might have change, but we wan't to keep the data value at submit time. example expense claims, product price list.
Ability to manipulate the data returned before append it to the control, example trim, concat
