[](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/aZKimage.png)
Simple dynamic forms are often created with a single “choice” field, which is used to obtain user confirmation in order to proceed with the workflow or to direct it to a specific branch.
For simple dynamic forms with a single “choice” field (used to confirm or route a workflow), a new “**Quick choice configuration**” button has been added. It allows configuring quick action buttons directly within the requested action instead of using the “Fill in” button.
