It is not necessary to call setFieldTemplate( ) unless:
• You are not using a jQuery Mobile environment, or
• You are using a jQuery Mobile environment, but you want to change the default
settings (see below)
OpenEdge Mobile provides a default form template for a jQuery Mobile environment.
The following code fragment shows the default template values:
progress.ui.UIHelper.setItemTemplate = '
{__label__}
';
As shown in the preceding example, the template uses the following substitution
parameters:
• {__name__} — The name of the field, as defined by the schema
• {__label__} — The title property of the field, as defined by the schema
