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 Glide has the ability to construct them when a form is filled out but unable to capture them? Construct URL | Glide Docs In my use case where I need to encode data on a public form like a UUID for Customer ID in a foreign system so that I can connect the actual form input to my IPaaS (Make) and create a draft/provisional customer order. I intend to encode the URL strings into a QR code that takes users to the Glide form. In my case the only form field that I want a user to interact with is uploading photos. Any work arounds? It sounds like a disaster of typos and other garbage data to have users enter this data manually. Alternatively the dropdown list would literally consist of nearly 500 choices just for one customer. Rather frustrated.

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

In this video, learn how allow users to scan a QR code to prepopulate a form screen using: point_right A helper table point_right A template column point_right Get Part of URL columns point_right Form container I’ve used this method to create scavenger hunt activities, inventory apps, onboarding functionality, and time card systems. There are several of variations you can do using this methodology (eg. use a form screen over a form container, create QR codes…

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.

@mkbw - This thread might help? [image] How to pass parameter to glide apps? Ask for Help WTF? exploding_head …great tip!! I had seen/tried the Get Part or URL plugin before, but hadn’t found a proper use case for it, but “The URL of the current screen” parameter changes everything. [image] Thanks for the video and your time Darren. Feliz día!.

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 . 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.
