Update field values on pages created via a ConfiForms template

Anna_0cxnmt

Hello!

What we've got:

- a page with ConfiForms macros created according to the documentation

- the ConfiForms page contains all the created pages in a list (links to the created pages by IDs and URLs)

- the ConfiForms fields are multi-select and smart multi-select fields which values depends on the values of other fields (e.g. if the user chooses 'Europe' then the list of countries is limited to the European countries)

- the created page retrieves values from the ConfiForms page

Question. Sometimes the data changes and we make mistakes so the values should be changed. Is there a way to update values via the ConfiForms page?

Hi @Anna

If those values are stored in ConfiForms and your created pages use ConfiForms views then all you have to do is to change the value in the record

And that would be updated everywhere where it is used

Sorry I must've misled you. I mean the set of values used. For example, we have a page with values:

region: Europe
countries: UK, Germany, Italy

Now we want to add other countries to this list. We tried to change the value via the record of this page on the ConfiForm page, like via buttons ⚙ -> View/Edit stored data, and then add another country to the column. The record changed but only in the list, not on the page itself.

How is this section is configured in the template?

region: Europe
countries: UK, Germany, Italy

It does not use the ConfiForms?

It does. In particular, this is the case inspired by articles Using apply filter on dependent smart dropdowns + Using ConfiForms Field Definition Rules macro to reduce number of choices in a dropdown field based on the value selected in another field

The structure we have:

CF Form Definition:
- CF Registration control
- CF Field Definition (several of them for all the fields we use)
- CF Rules for Field Definition (for each field with dependent value)
- CF IFTTT Integration Rules (contains the template with CF ValueView which refers to the relevant value via filter recordId:[entry.recordId]
several of CF Form Definition:
- CF Field Definition
- CF Registration Control (they receive values)

So the first FormDefinition contains data of all created pages and entered data. The second one just provides the custom values (as f1choices and f2choices in the article)

The example with Europe and Countries is only for the sake of a clear example. Due to the NDA I can't share actual values or purpose of this form
