How to get information from Page Source to Form Container

[RD-Team]

Hi,

Attached is the QR Feedback page with Source is QR Code table. After scanned the QR code, the QR Feedback page managed to capture “The URL of the current screen” and display at the top of the page. By using the loc=582, the page managed to get the Location Name from Locations table by using relation at QR Code table and displayed at the page.

The Location ID(Text Entry) is located at Form Container with Target table is Tasks. The Default value of Location ID is get from LocationID at QR Code table.

Label: Location ID
Default value: LocationID from QR Code table
Column: LocationID at Tasks table

However the Location located at Form Container did not display the location information.

Label: Location
Default value: Relation to Locations table → Location Name (at QR Code table)
Column: Location at Tasks table.

Please assist. Thank you.

Can you try managing the params in the Users table instead? I assume you’re getting loc=582 and do the lookup in a table that is not the Users table?

I get the LocationID (loc=582) using “Get Part of URL” at QR Code table and do the lookup at QR Code table. This page is open to Public. How to manage the params in the Users table?

Please assist. Thank you.

So users will never sign in for this app? The sandbox nature of forms might be a problem here, hence why I asked if there’s a way you can manage the information outside the form.

I would just do a custom form, if you don’t have too many entry components.

Yes. The users will never sign in the app.

How do I create a custom form?

I’m just dropping this here so I have something to refer people to when they ask. This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using User Specific Columns and Relations Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particular…

Please check the concept of a custom form here. That way, you have real-time access to values/relations to display the location as you need.

I saw your exchange with Darren on the other thread. I tried it myself, can’t duplicate myself. Seems like there’s a problem with copying templates at the moment.
