Hi Satish,

For what other reasons would you want to render a block other than when one of its inputs is changing?

Hi Daniel,

I need to load the block dynamically based on backend configuration Ex: different Load blocks based on different customer categories, without including all blocks. The load of the block will decide at runtime only.

Blocks cannot be dynamically loaded in OutSystems, you define blocks in blocks and screens at design time.

All you can do is have your data model help you decide with block to make visible, and have at design time IF's around your blocks to steer the visibility.

If you search on the Forge for "Dynamic forms" you will find multiple Forge components that implement such behavior, also you could search the Forge. Questions around dynamic forms have been answered many times before.

Here is a list of Forge components with dynamic forms:
