2. Add new properties for the following interface elements or bind them to the appropriate context elements and actions:

Properties	Value
FormGroup_Header with Caption type
text	Rental Settings
Label1 with Label type
labelFor	DropDown_Location Since DropDown_Location is bound with the Location context attribute (with the Location simple type created previously), the field text from the simple type is used as the default text.
DropDown_Location with DropDownByKey type
selectedKey	Location
Label2 with Label type
labelFor	DropDown_VehicleType
DropDown_VehicleType with DropDownByKey type
selectedKey	VehicleType
Label3 with Label type
labelFor	Input_Pickup
text	Pickup Date Since Input_Pickup is bound with a context attribute without a simple type, you must define the text here.
Input_Pickup with InputField type
value	PickupDate
Label4 with Label type
labelFor	Input_Return
Input_Return with InputField type
value	ReturnDate
RentButton with Button type
onAction	Rent
text	The empty default value remains. Since the button is bound to the Rent action and the Rent text is assigned to this action, this text is used for this button automatically.

3. Save the current status of the metadata.

4. To visualize the changes in the layout editor, close FormView and then open it again.
