Hi @2020mme013.  There are at least 65 standard iProperties, plus any custom ones that may be present.  And in some situations there are also other entire sets of iProperties.  So, if you need a Form in which to review and edit iProperties, you will need to be much more specific about which iProperties you need to be present within the form.  Plus, creating custom, interactive Form from scratch, on the fly, with a dynamic number of controls and editable textbox fields, requires quite a bit of fairly advanced code, which would need to contain a lot of custom specifications.  The simplest thing for you to do would probably be to open one of these documents that you want to work on, and create an internal/local (saved within the document, not a 'global' one) iLogic Form, then drag & drop all of the iProperties you want to see over into it.  Then, if needed, you could copy that form over onto the 'global' forms tab to make it a global form.  Then when you are in another document, click on that global form to open it (or use other means to show it automatically), then it will be populated with the same iProperties of the document that was 'active' when that form was opened, so that you can review &/or edit their contents.  Keep in mind though, when using an internal/local iLogic form, changes made in the form will 'immediately' effect the document, but when using a global form, the changes need to be 'applied' before they will effect the document, so there is a little difference in behavior.

Maybe this helps? (although I suppose this doesn't address the "global form" portion of your post...)
