Creates a copy of a pre-built form GeoPackage for the specified type. The form is ready for deployment to a QGIS project and Mergin Maps for mobile field collection.
Arguments
- type
Character. Form type (e.g.,
"pscis","fiss_site","edna"). Seerfp_form_types()for available types.- path_out
Character. Output path for the form GPKG. If the parent directory doesn't exist, it will be created.
Value
Invisible character - the path to the created form GPKG. Any .qml
sidecar is written beside it with the same basename.
Details
Where the form ships with a .qml sidecar - every form generated by
rfp_form_build() does - the sidecar is copied alongside it. That file
carries the field aliases, edit widgets, tab layout and symbology, so the
GeoPackage on its own would deploy a bare table.
Use rfp_form_types() to see available form types and their descriptions.
