URL Parameters for Internal Links

Post by Starb7 »

Hi Pablo

I have had a wade thro' the forum but can't find an answer. Do you have a guide/info on the usage of'URL Parameters for Internal Links' when creating links? If not, how do I pass a parameter from the link (using the 'URL Parameters for Internal Links') field, eg I want to pass a Subject paramater to the form and that form to auto-populate a 'Subject' field.

Seems like it should be easy but i can get it to work.

Using latest 16.2.0 update.

Cheers

Paul

This option is for advanced users. For example, if you want to use the parameter in a script.

Ah, OK. So other than this method, is there another way to pass the 'Subject' into a form from a link? TIA.

Using URL parameters is the right way to do this. However, you will need to implement script for this.

@Starb7, I thought I'd have a go at this.
If you still want to do it I have a simple project that does what you want, I think. :)
