    Lakshya,

    I believe that IBM has been planning end of support for IBM Forms/eforms for some time. I do not have official information on when they have/will drop support.

    I would be happy to discuss your situation and how we have used the coach view framework and/or a tool we developed called Apex Forms (https://apexforms.io) with IBM BAW to address our clients' forms needs.

    Hello,

    We do not recommend integrating either of these offering with BAW. The case forms widget which provides this integration has been deprecated from the BAW on containers environment.

    Both forms offering are no longer in the market.

    This integration was created to allow a richer data UI interface at a time when built-in customization was limited. In BAW with its new use of Client-side Human Services for both task and case pages, the ability to create these rich pages is now available directly without having to rely of external components.

    I also second looking at the Apex Forms if what you are looking for is having real forms vs "form like UIs" in your solutions.
