Hello,
Can anyone help on how to configure text fields in form so that they can be populated from the data source?
Thanks,

Hello,
You have to use data providers :
https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017894712-Data-Providers
We have done this last year in 7.1 with no problem.
Tips : if you call an /api/jsonws webservice use "localhost:8080/api/jsonws" and not "www.mywebsite.com/api/jsonws".
The call is not done by the browser but by the server.

Hello Eric,
Thanks for your responsei am able to populate the data when i use the datasource output type as List and in the form the field as "Select from List". But when the datasource output type is Text and the form field is a "Text Field" it does not work.
