Is it possible to use data from a histogram view for a Form inital value?
I have a histogram setup (see pic below), where a user can drill down by SalespersonID>Brand>SubBrand>CustomerNumber>Item. Once they get to Item Detail they can see related Feedback. They click New to get to the Feedback Form. Here the Item is already preselected. Is there anyway to take the Customer from their selection earlier in the histogram drill down?
You can only read the value from a view where it’s related only one record. Otherwise the app can’t know what record it should read.
The short answer is: no.
@Aleksi @Steve. @praveen hey guys, I am working with Wes on the issue he explained above… Is there anyway to set some type of session variable that we can refer back to later?
in this example the user is drilling down a path and when they find the variance they might want to make a note on it… We’d rather them not have to remember the previous two steps or clicks they used to get there
perhaps a feature will be added at some point, but are there any other suggestions that might work with this use case ?
You could provide a user setting, but that would require the user take specific action.
You might be able to use an action (Behavior > Actions), but the user would have to invoke it or you’d have to find some way to invoke it automatically, like attaching it to a row-selected or form-saved event. You’d then have to have a table to save the desired state to. It’s not impossible, but is definitely very advanced behavior.
yes, thought about parking it in a table somehow but it seems like a lot of moving parts. we will try though. thanks steve!

It is indeed! Definitely well beyond “no-code”.
