IFTTT: Copy Confiform Data - right way to set field from calling entry

[Demolag]

Hi,

Given the following 3 forms and their respective fields:

• A: a1
• B: b1
• C: a1, b1

I want using IFTTT on form A, to copy values from form B to form C, where a1 on each of the copied entries will be set to a1 from the entry calling the IFTTT. Since a1=[entry.a1]&b1=[entry.b1] doesn't work I am looking for a working solution.

Currently the way I do it is by adding an Update Entries IFTTT afterward that update all entries with a1:[empty] on C to a1=[entry.a1], but it feels like the wrong way of doing it.

Another way I thought of is adding a Create Entry IFTTT before the Copy IFTTT with entryId=[entry.id], and then on the copy IFTTT to set a1=[iftttResult_0.a1]&b1=[entry.b1].

Is there a right way of doing that? It feels like a too common use of the Copy Entries IFTTT for there not to be a right way of doing it.
