       - question: How to add commandbar, search to subgrids
         answer: |
           To add commandbar, search to a subgrid for model-driven apps, you need to specify the [cds-data-set-options](manifest-schema-reference/data-set.md).

+      - question: Can I access form context like I can in model-driven apps event handlers?
+        answer: |
+          Accessing form context directly in a control is not supported. Code components are expected to work across various products like model-driven apps, canvas apps, dashboards, and hence they cannot have dependency on the form context. A work around is to make the code component bound to a column and add an `OnChange` event handler to that column. The code component can update the column value, and the `OnChange` event handler can access the form context. Column not bound to a table could be used, or a column bound to a table with `submitMode` set to `never` can be used. We will add support for the custom events in future which can be used for communicating changes outside of a control without adding a column configuration.
