In a form, is it possible to use other components like dataview, datatable, etc?

You can embed any view into the form. Please check

Thank you. I thought only form elements were supported. So, they data can be supplied to the form, so that all children (including dataview/datatable) will take data?

Yep. But if you want to useform.setValues(), you need to define thesetValue andgetValue methods for the datatable, i.e. to create a custom component:

webix.protoUI({
    name:"formtable",
    $allowsClear:true,     // reflect to form.clearAll()
    setValue:function(value){ . . . },
    getValue:function(){ . . .  }
}, webix.ui.datatable);

A very common use-case is setting/getting the selection:

In case of data loading the methods should be configured as follows:

Besides, you still can load the data using the id of the particular component.
