These workflows are only enabled if the feature service allows these operations.

    view: view,
    layer: featureLayer, // pass in the feature layer,
    formTemplate:  { // autocastable to FormTemplate
      elements: [
        { // autocastable to FieldElement

          fieldName: "fulladdr",
          label: "Full Address"
        }
      ]
    },
    enabled: true, // default is true, set to false to disable editing functionality
