Form Not Updating with URL Parameter

Ask for Help

Hello,

I am working on creating an app for inventory. I have added all parts and I want to create a URL link for each part and follow it with QR Code. The goal is to have user scan QR code and it takes them to a form where they upload an image for that part. The form should also auto fill the part number.

In the data sheet I used my form link to add part paraments and added column that extracts the parameter and displays the part name. Which works well displaying the right parameter.

In the form I’ve set the default value as the extracted part name from my link. However, the issue I’m running into is that the only the first row of part is showing up. Even when I use the different link with different part name parameters it still gives me the part name from row 1. How can I fix this?

So you set the extracted parameters as default for entry components right?

What I fear is happening here is the “default” action triggers before the extracted columns are calculated.

Yes, I did set the extracted parameters as default

Yeah, I think the calculations are not done in time for it to work like you desire.

Not sure if anyone else has a better idea. Does it have to be a native form, or can it be a custom form or a form container?

I tried having it in Fields and in Form container, but it displays one value regardless of parameters.

Any suggestion of how I can approach this result? I need QR code that is linked to page that prefills the part information and prompts a picture.

It’s weird if it doesn’t display correctly even if it’s not an entry component (like Fields).

Can you provide all relevant screenshots of how you’re setting up the whole flow?
