Hi,
I have two questions regarding the ui-form:
- can the data made boot-secure (in case of a power failure)
- can i preload a dataset? The problem is, i need different setups which require different predefined inputs, which i will load from different files.
Thank you in advance!

Do you mean the output and form submissions? If so, it can live in the [Node-RED Context](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/context). This has an option to store in the `localfilesystem`, and not just in memory of Node-RED.

Yes, anything you send in `msg.payload` will populate you form. You can read more about it [here](https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/nodes/widgets/ui-form.html#populating-form-data)
