Calling {view:} and {fn:} in Chronoforms 8

Call views and functions in ChronoForms 8.

Overview

The user was unsure how to call declared views and functions using placeholders after migrating from ChronoForms 7.
Use the same {view:name} and {fn:action_name} placeholders as in v7, and set the element names in the Wizard settings panel.

We are trying to convert some Connectivity connections in CF7 to CF8.

In Chronoforms 7, we can call declared views and functions in different pages using {view:name} or {fn:code}. Is there a way to do this in Chronoforms 8?

Did you try to do the same ? {view:name} and {fn:action_name} should still work in ChronoForms8

Thanks Max, I've only just found the "Wizard settings" where we put the name for the element.

Great, yes, that's where you can set the names in v8
