The introduction of ORDA has presented new methodologies of treating table structure and records as objects. However, ORDA goes beyond just data abstractions and is more aligned to an entire design principle where everything in 4D is an object. The idea of using only objects can be extremely beneficial as a developer can design an entire form based on a JSON definition without any need for process variables and manual data typing. When form data and subforms are brought into the picture, things can start becoming complicated. However, this tech note will demonstrate how easy it is to implement ORDA with form data and subforms using only objects and how data is passed between parent forms and its subforms.
