_instance
Type
_instance
Synopsis
Add or remove defined instances to a form
Description
With _instance you can define a part of a form as an instance that can be added or removed by the user (in a way add more rows to submit more information).
How it works
_instance holds a list of parameters that define the usage of the instance.
First you define what template on a page it needs to edit (template-parent) and what parameter of that template needs to be edited (name).
The idea is that the name attribute will hold multiple templates. That template is defined with the template parameter.
If you leave out anything else, GlexForm will render the instance based on the default Wikibase Solutions setup. (default settings listed with the parameters).
All the other parameters are described below.
