It looks like retrieving URL parameters or query strings into form fields or directly into the table is something that a lot of customers have been asking for for years now. Has anything changed? I cannot find it documented here or elsewhere in official documentation if it has. It appears that Glid…

No, the visibility condition is at tab/page level. Here you can see a short explanation:

I discovered this Get Part of URL column | Glide and there’s a great walkthrough here Using URL Parameters to Filter a Collection | Loom So it is possible… with “experimental code”

Thanks @Jeff_Hager I stepped away and came back thinking there’s got to be a way to do this I’m just not searching effectively and found that Get Part of URL plugin on my own. I will certainly watch this video to learn how you handled this within Glide.

It seems that “The URL of the current screen” is no longer retrieving URL parameters. Do you know if this is a bug in the current Glide platform or an intentional limitation introduced by the Glide team?

How do you have your column configured?

The URL is formatted as follows: glideapp.url/dl/activity?code=ABC. The ActivityCode column is configured as shown in the attached image, and the column value is <empty_string>. Important: This functionality worked correctly in the recent past (December). [column config]

Column configuration looks fine. I can’t seem to duplicate the issue. I trust you are actually navigating to the page with the query parameter included, or are you just typing it into the url bar and not hitting the Enter key to navigate to that url?

Yes: [image] Jeff_Hager: actually navigating to the page with the query parameter included

Hmm, I’m not sure what’s going on. Is it also a problem in the published app and on different devices? I guess I would try from a different browser or computer, or try clearing your browser cache.
