ConfiForm - bulk Update field using another field value

Khalaf Alkhalaf_1vsslb

Hello everyone

I hope you are doing well

I'm trying to use IFTTT rule to update entries by filter (in my case all entries)

In "Parameters to set on the entry" I use this:

entryId=[entry.id] & Field1=[entry.Field2]

 

Lets say these are the values in first three entry

entry1:

- Field1: empty

- Field2: 111

entry2:

- Field1: empty

- Field2: 222

entry3:

- Field1: empty

- Field2: 333

 

When I update any entry, I need to trigger my IFTTT and copy all field2 in field1 and my entry will look like this (This is what I need):

entry1:

- Field1: 111

- Field2: 111

entry2:

- Field1: 222

- Field2: 222

entry3:

- Field1: 333

- Field2: 333

 

But now what I got:

entry1:

- Field1: 222

- Field2: 111

entry2:

- Field1: 222

- Field2: 222

entry3:

- Field1: 222

- Field2: 333

Hi,
When calling the IFTTT, the [entry] reference refer to the entry calling the IFTTT and not to the one updated by it.

What you can do is:

1. set a hidden "update" field with it's default value set to false.
2. set an IFTTT for create/update entry with the following paramters:
   1. Condition: update:true
   2. Parameters to set: entryId=[entry.id]&Field1=[entry.Field2]&update=false
3. now set the original Update By Filter ifttt to set for all entries:
   1. Parameters to set: update=true
   2. untick the checkbox for Stop events propagation so it will trigger the IFTTT you added for each of the entries.
