Changing field value in first form after submitting second form

Kevin Gleeson

Hi everyone,

I have 2 forms: 

The first form has a lot of fields which are populated after submission.

The second form has a smartfield which references the unique id of the request created when first form is submitted.

I am trying and failing to -

Change a field on the first form when the second form is submitted based on the unique id selected in the second form (smartfield).

Example - 

Submit first form : Creates a request with unique id "Help75" and field with value "Pending"

Open second form : Options include smartfield which allows selection of "Help75"

Submit second form: Creates its own request and also edits Help75 field from "Pending" to "Sent" via an IFTTT

Can anyone help with the values I would need in the IFTTT please - I just can't seem to get them right.

Thanks

So, the question is how to update the record in the form 1, while making a submit in form 2?

You can set up an IFTTT to do that https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-UpdateConfiFormsEntriesbyFilter

smart field in form 2 has the reference to a record in form 1, so the filter to apply would be something like

id:[entry.yoursmartfield]
