The most basic example would be to remove the entity-condition in the
form and put it inside the actions on the screen definition, then you
would add a list-name attribute to the entity-condition like:
<entity-condition entity-name="Example" list-name="examples">
That will add an entry to the context map with the key "examples" and
the value being the list of results.

Scott,
That's exactly what I was asking - Al, sorry for the confusion!
So the list-name attribute is meant to be used when passing a list
"into" the form?
Are there any basic examples of how a list may be passed into a form?
Many thanks,
Chris

Hi Al, Christopher
Al, I think Christopher is asking why the form still works if he
removes list-name="examples" from the form element.
Christopher, as far as I can see having the list-name attribute isn't
necessary in this case because of the entity-condition action (whose
results are used regardless of what you do). Even if you passed the
form a list called examples, the entity-condition results would
replace it.

Christopher,
I am confused. What is this below:
<form name="ListExamples" type="list" list-name="examples"
paginate-target="FindExample"
Did you not see this or am i missing something?

Al,
I'm confused. The list-name "examples" isn't referred to anywhere in
the form. In fact, the form works ok without the list-name
attribute in
the form.
? :(
