In the “Input date with button click” demo it shows the button being added with createElement. Are there other fields that can be created this way? If so, is there a list somewhere?

An element (or field) can be created by specifying HTML tags in the document.createElement so please refer to the list such as below since I don’t think there’s a HTML tag list provided by kintone.

Though avoid using elements based on external input values like it is mentioned in the secure coding guidelines.

Hi Yuzo,

Does this mean I can use pretty much any HTML tag/element?

Hi Nathan,

&nbsp;

Yes, I think so as long as you specify the name of the element since the createElement() method creates an Element Node with the specified name as the link below says.
