Confiforms Smart Dropdown not working on second page

Alexander Junkermann

Hello,

We have a main form (form1) in which we have a Smart Dropdown field which gets it's values from another form on the same page (form2) (just like an easily configurable lookup table for the values that should be displayed in the dropdown). 
On this page itself everything works as expected - the dropdown is populated in modal and inline edit options. 

Now we have another page which only implements a view to form1 together with a simple edit control. Editing the content of an entry on the second page leads to an empty dropdown field. 

Did I miss anything to also make form2 "visible" on the second page apart from referencing the form view to form1 (which itself references to form2 via the smart dropdown)?

example code (storage format):
page 1: https://gist.github.com/junkealSICKAG/19ccac091d8ea74fee534026ed6fb20a

page 2: https://gist.github.com/junkealSICKAG/47e7153ebee468c065ddda21a0045ef7

Hi @Alexander Junkermann 

As you smart field is configured to use the "current page" and not specific page then it might be an issue with a version of ConfiForms you are using where we had this bug

This has been fixed since 3.15.5 https://wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/CONFIFORMS/pages/31096895/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-Version3.15.5

Hi Alex,

thanks a lot for your help! That's such a nice way to start the week - especially if Monday morning brings a solution to the problem that cost you gray hairs on Friday afternoon :-)

In our instance we're not yet on version 3.15.5 (I'll request the update) so I used the source editor to replace this

with the actual page id

this seems to work fine :-)

Yes, setting the page id explicitly will work as a workaround. This has been fixed in recent versions of ConfiForms, sorry about that
