XFA support in XDP-based adaptive forms
Last update: June 24, 2024
CREATED FOR:

Introduction
Adobe recommends using the modern and extensible data capture Core Componentsfor creating new Adaptive Formsor adding Adaptive Forms to AEM Sites pages. These components represent a significant advancement in Adaptive Forms creation, ensuring impressive user experiences. This article describes older approach to author Adaptive Forms using foundation components.
Adaptive forms supports various XFA events, properties, scripts, and validations defined in an XDP file, including:
- Execution of scripts defined on events in the XDP file.
- Capturing default values and behavioral properties for fields in the XDP file.
- Execution of validation scripts defined in the XDP file.
When an adaptive form is created based on an XDP file, the properties, events, and validations are auto-populated in the form authoring UI. However, form authors can override some of these elements to create an alternate experience.
This article lists supported XFA events, properties, and validations honored in adaptive forms and explains how to override them in adaptive forms.

| multiSelect (List Box) | Mapped to the Allows multiple selection property in adaptive form. |
Scripts
The following table captures how various XFA scripts defined in the XDP file behave in adaptive forms.
| XFA script events | Corresponding behavior in adaptive forms |
| initialize | This script is executed at runtime and cannot be overridden in adaptive form. |
| calculate | Mapped to the Calculate expression in adaptive form. |
| validate | Mapped to the Validation expression in adaptive form. |
| validationState | This script is executed at runtime and cannot be overridden in adaptive form. |
| exit | This script is executed at runtime and cannot be overridden in adaptive form. |

| Support for web services | This script is executed at runtime and cannot be overridden in adaptive form. |
| Change (scribble field, radio button, check box) | This script is executed at runtime and cannot be overridden in adaptive form. |
Validations
The following table captures how XFA validations map to validations in adaptive forms.
| XFA validation | Corresponding validation in adaptive form |
| Validation Pattern (formatTest) | validatePictureClause |
| Validation Pattern Message (formatTestMessage) | validatePictureMessage |
| Required (nullTest ) | mandatory |
| Empty Message (nullTestMessage) | mandatoryMessage |
