Restrict child forms to only open from parent forms or processes

Currently, any form on the tablet can be opened by a user that has create and edit rights.  If a form has been designed to only open from a parent or a process, stand alone child forms that are opened by users cause a whole host of issues in terms of reporting, tracking, external integrations.  Please speak also to Mark Slack who can add some weight to this business case from a support point of view this functionality would prevent a large number of issues.

Please add 2 check boxes on the "Edit Form Details and Permissions" dialog box.  1. Only launch from parent form" 2. Only launch from process.  This is specifically required for NNB and BYLOR on the Hinkley Point C project with potential combined user base of 4-500+ and more through other Tier 1 Contractors.

    Hi Betsie, This could work.  We would need a new permission so that the form can only open from parents/associations or processes.  We would need 2 new permissions - 1. Create from association 2. Create from Process.  (or combine it into one)  The "Create Form" permission could then be switched off if so desired.

    Would this problem be solved by being able to assign permissions to a role on who can edit a form?  There a number of suggestions that seem to address the same problem.
