doo.model.modelMetadata

In this chapter, you will learn how to find out information about the currently open form.

If you need to find out information about the currently opened form, such as table identifiers, flag, whether the form is displayed as an edit form or read-only record detail in the widget, or you need to read/change the model of the parent form, the doo.model.modelMetadata property is designed for that.
