Confiforms: Setting autopage with Create/Update Entry IFTTT

[Katherine Barako]

I am trying to create a confiforms cleanview that will show the current status of the page. This appears on a page (created via IFTTT) that contains multiple form registrations on it. I am using an IFTTT macro to populate a page status form, but having trouble filtering the form because autopage isn't being set correctly. 

Details:

Let's call the multiple Created Pages CreatedPage00X, and let's call the instanced forms:

Forms inside CreatedPage00X

• form1
• form2
• form3

Definitions of form 1-3 are in a page called DefintionsPage. All the forms contain an autopage field called "autopage"

The way I attempted to do this by creating a form called "pagestatus" inside DefinitionsPage with fields

pagestatus fields

• autopage
• timestamp 
• status

and putting an IFTTT inside form1's definition with the following:

IFTTT inside Form 1

• event=onCreated
• action=Create Confiforms Entry
• parameters to set: status=Form 1 submitted

With similar ones inside Forms 2 and 3.

Then, in a page properties table inside my created page I have

Cleanview inside CreatedPage00X

• formname: pagestatus
• Page where form is defined: DefinitionsPage
• Filter to apply on entries: autopage:[entry.id.asEntryRef(entry._page)] (which turns into autopage:[entry._page] once CreatedPage00X is created)
• Ordering: timestamp DESC LIMIT 1

My Problem: 

When I submit form1, the autopage is getting set to DefintionsPage instead of CreatedPage00x, so the filter isnt working

I tried adding &autopage=[entry._page], or &autopage=[entry.autopage] to my parameters but that didn't work either.

How can I make the autopage of pagestatus show the page whose form1 IFTTT triggered the creation of the entry?

Thanks in advance.

I think I may have figured this out, although it's a bit awkward.

I suspected that autopage was having trouble updating, so I created a field called "statusingpage" of type page/blogpost (rather than type autopage).

I then added statusingpage=[entry.autopage] and changed the cleanview filter to show statusingpage:[entry._page] instead

Not sure if there is a better way!

Is your autopage field is set to track only on creation or changes on updates?

Set it to track the source only on creation (option in a field definition for that field type)
