Passing autonumber value through URL bug

[Ryan Kafoor]

Hi, 

I am using an autolink URL to set values in another form, in which one of the parameters passes the value from an Autonumber field. So, something like https://...?..somefield=[entry.autonumberfield]. However, this somehow doesn't work as expected, as only the initial value (if the initial value is set) or zero (if initial value not set) is passed in the actual url. Is this some kind of an unhandled bug in confiforms.?

Hi @Ryan Kafoor 

Autolink (and formula) fields are calculated BEFORE the record gets an ID (and recordId) for new/unsaved records

Consider adding an extra IFTTT to invoke an update to the same record and recalculate

Something like this

My autolink field here is named "a", so I am just adding a post create function to invoke and update to autolink field

That solves it. Thanks Alex
