Add answer to form
Keep an answer in a form record: the member's newest one (a new one if they have none open), or a record by number.
form.add_answer
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, add answer to form.”
Wait for a message → If it matches the pattern → Add answer to form staff as ign.
What it does
Keep an answer in a form record: the member's newest one (a new one if they have none open), or a record by number. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Applications in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for applications: keep an answer in a form record: the member's newest one (a new one if they have none open), or a record by number.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
