collapse/expand properties window in Form Builder

This enhancement will also improve the performance of the Form Builder.

We have added couple of new options under Quick Flow types: 

1. Open App Add Record: Users can configure this option for an app through Quick Flows if they want to open another app in add record mode as soon as they submit a record in the current app. 

Example: If a user has created an app to create tasks and another app to create sub tasks by referencing tasks. The user can create a task in the first app, and the second app to create sub tasks on top of the task, user will automatically be navigated to add record mode of create sub task app as soon as the user creates a task. 

2.  Open App as Report: Users can configure this option in an app through Quick Flows if they want to open any app as a report which does not contain any action buttons to take any action but will be able to see the data in the app, as shown below.
