OFA: implementing 2 "disconnected" forms on the same entity - is it possible?

Dear OFA team, I am trying to implement a specific workflow in OFA and would like to know if it's possible. Here is the scenario:

First Form: The user enters a list of trees with attributes: treeID, species, dbh, and azimuth.
Second Form: The user navigates to a new form that displays a filtered subset of those trees (e.g., dbh > 10 and conifers only). From this list, the user selects a tree to enter an additional attribute (e.g., height).

I know this could technically be achieved within a single form by dynamically changing the visibility of the height attribute. However, due to our workflow requirements, we specifically need a two-form setup where the second form only shows the filtered trees.

Is there a feature or option in OFA that supports this kind of multi-form scenario?

Dear User,
Thank you for reaching out. Currently, we do not have a feature that supports this specific scenario. However, we are already working on a solution that we believe will fit your needs, which is expected to be available by the end of August.
How it will work:

the filtered entity table will have to include a "minimum count" expression (to determine the number of filtered items) and a "relevancy" expression.
when the table becomes relevant, the specified number of entities will be automatically generated.
you will then need to set certain attributes as read-only (fetching values directly from the "source" table) while keeping other attributes editable.

Could a feature like this work for your use case? We would love to hear your thoughts.
Best regards,
The Open Foris Arena Team
