What is a word that describes an HTML form that could be used to both add and edit data? [closed]

Question

Often when making websites, I will create an HTML form object that I will use in two places: once on a page that allows a user to add a new object, and once on a page that allows a user to edit existing objects.

What is a word that describes such a form? It isn't so much a management form, since managing implies that the object is already created. It isn't a creation form, since that implies we are only making new ones.

Answer 1

In webdev, this is called an upsert form-- a portmanteau of insert and update.

Answer 2

How about CRUD form ? More info from wikipedia:

In computer programming, create, read, update and delete (CRUD) are the four basic functions of persistent storage. Sometimes CRUD is expanded with the words retrieve instead of read or destroy instead of delete. It is also sometimes used to describe user interface conventions that facilitate viewing, searching, and changing information; often using computer-based forms and reports. The term was likely first popularized by James Martin in a 1983 book titled "Managing the Data-base Environment"

Answer 3

You are trying to find a word to describe to different actions: creating and editing. What do they have in common that is reasonably unique to this pair? If you can think of something, use that; if not, it is impossible, and you should use a composite name, like "create and edit". But my guess is that you are using a certain function in this form that is used for both actions: can you describe this function, and pick out a descriptive word from that?

How about Content Processing form?

Answer 5

Simply referring to it as a data-entry form may be a solution that conveys the non-specific nature of the form.

To @Cerberus' point, adding some additional detail specific to what the form is creating or editing would provide additional context for the users:

The customer records data-entry form has all the fields I need...
