Description: The ExternalFormSetProperty function is utilized to set property values of external form repeaters. It provides a convenient way to dynamically modify the properties of repeated controls within an external form, allowing for customization and control over form layout and behavior.

Syntax:

ExternalFormSetProperty(ControlName, PropertyName, Value, StartIndex, EndIndex)

• ControlName: The name of the external form.
• PropertyName: The name of the property to be set.
• Value: The value of the property to be set.
• StartIndex (Optional): The starting index of the external form repeater.
• EndIndex (Optional): The ending index of the external form repeater.
