Description: 

To make it easier to alter an element's configuration form, hook_webform_element_configuration_form_alter() was added. This hook can be used to alter the element edit form before it is populated to add custom properties or tweak existing properties.

To better demonstrate the use-case for hook_webform_element_configuration_form_alter(), the webform_example_element_properties.module was added, which shows how to easily add a custom property to all webform elements.

Good day,

How or where can I find documentation on syntax of using this. I am planning to set a value of an existing textfield element from a function which is getting the value from an external SOAP. I have 2 fields, User enters an company number on the first field then the company name is retrieved from the SOAP and assigned to the second field. I am able to do this using custom form but i would like to use Webform 8 as it offers me more possibilities. Can only go as far as this: function supplier_webform_element_configuration_form_alter(&$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {}

I wish to then use AJAX within this module to call the SOAP function

I will really appreciate assistance on this
