**Block Information**

Available in: Page Flow

Toolbox Category: Widget - Data Table

Block Type: [Regular](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block)
{% endhint %}

The [Data Table](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-table.md) widget uses a default generic form for adding or editing records to the attached [Database Table](/app-editor/data/database-tables.md).

The **`Data Table Attach Form`** block allows you to use your own form for adding and/or editing records.

* *Data Table*: [Selectable Input](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#selectable-input) to choose the [Data Table](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-table.md) widget from your page.
* *Usage*: [Dropdown configuration setting](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#dropdown) for choosing when your custom form needs to be used:
  1. New and Edit: Use the form for both adding and editing records.
  2. New: Use the form only for adding records.
  3. Edit: Use the form only for editing records.
* *Form Slug*: [Input](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#input) configuration setting to specify the [URL slug](/app-editor/page-settings.md#page-url) of the form to be shown.
