The SimpleList object that represents the schema of the fields in a particular form is passed as a function parameter in a variety of circumstances, often in conjunction with one or two other Dictionary objects.

The first type of associated Dictionary object is most often associated with the parameter name dictFldVals. This type of Dictionary object contains key/value pairs where the keys are the names of the fields (corresponding to the Name key in the field schema dictionary), and the values are either actual submitted form values or default values for that form.

The second type of associated Dictionary object is most often associated with the parameter name dictFldErrs. This type of Dictionary object contains key/value pairs where the keys are the names of the fields (corresponding to the Name key in the field schema dictionary), and the values are error messages associated with validation failures for the corresponding field.

There are five basic circumstances where the form field SimpleList objects and the associated types of Dictionary objects are used in the Solution Sites code. The first three of these correspond to function calls related to form field validation, the fourth corresponds to initializing default values for forms, and the fifth corresponds to the preparation of the HTML that will render the form.
