It would be helpful to have a function that works similar to the getFormType method available in the SDK. Although N52 offers some control over this via the Event, the ability to perform checks on form type would be useful and provide greater efficiency.
For example: customer requirement is to have certain fields enabled/disabled, tabs expanded/collapsed client-side based on whether the record is being created or updated. Currently, this would require two separate formulas (one for Create event and one for Update event), whereas including all code into a single formula with checks on a form type function would be more ideal.
