Confiforms: IFTTT onCreated, how to Update fields, specifically ownedBy field

fbunting

In Confiforms, I'm using IFTTTs with 'Create/Update ConfiForms Entry' action to auto-populate some fields before saving. One field I am auto-populating is the built-in ownedBy field.

This works fine with the onModified event. (Set parameters using 'entryId=[entry.id]&ownedBy=[entry.OwnersList]')

But this fails with the onCreated event. (I.e. I am trying to set the ownedBy field as I create a new record.)

I think this is because one has to preface the list of fields to set with 'entryId=[entry.id]' ... but in the onCreated event, the record does not have an assigned Id yet. So it would seem that one cannot set *any* fields with the onCreate event.

Is there a way to do this?

ConfiForms record ALWAYS has id when processing IFTTTs, so I am really unsure what do you experience here

Please share an example that does not work for you... Also, what is "OwnersList" field type?

Hmm ... never mind ... it's working now!

When I went to create an example, I couldn't make one that reproduced the problem.

But for the record, here's my Confiforms code. This was to give record-owners a way to add/delete other record owners ... by giving them an editable multiuser field, OwnersList, that I then copy to ownedBy using the IFTTT. (As ownedBy otherwise seem to be only editable by form admins after creation.)

Making sure the ownedBy field gets always a correctly formatted list of usernames

ownedBy=[entry.OwnersList.asList]

And will make sure the IFTTTs that update the record dont fire the "Modify" events and dont trigger the "onModified" IFTTT handlers
