Constraints and Values in the Form Designer
When you edit an element of the blueprint or resource action form, you can apply various constraints and
values to the element.
Constraints
The constraints that you can apply to an element vary depending on the type of element you are editing or
adding to the form. Some constraint values might be congured in the vRealize Orchestrator workow.
Those values do not appear on the Constraints tab because they are often dependent on conditions that are
evaluated when the workow runs. Any constraint values that you congure for the blueprint form
overrides any constraints specied in the vRealize Orchestrator workow.
