Working with Formsets in AEM Forms workspace
CREATED FOR:

A formset is a collection of HTML5 forms grouped and presented as a single set of forms to end users. When end users start filling a formset, they are seamlessly transitioned from one form to another. The set of forms can then be submitted in just one click. For more info on formsets and how to set them up, see Formset in AEM Forms.
AEM Forms workspace supports formsets. With formsets, multiple forms related to a service or process can be grouped to automate a business process and presented to the end users. In such a scenario, the users can fill the whole set as one and there is no need to file, submit, and track individual forms or processes.
