Passing Updated Variable

Forms

asked on January 18, 2018 • Show version history

I created a Keywords section and allow for up to 6 keywords. I use this in both the initial form and a "rejected" version of the form:

In all other forms, I have one field where I put all keywords:

I initiated a form and only had keyword1 filled out:

I rejected the form and decided to fill all keywords out:

When this goes to the next form, it still see:

All other fields update when I make changes at the "rejection" stage except for Keywords!

So, I tried first setting the default value to:

And then tried the formula method:

Still not working. How do I get the keywords to "stick" when changing them at the "rejected" stage?

Concatenate worked great! Also, I didn't think to have the grouped values in the same form for both the initial form and the rejected form:

I'll hide the Keywords field in the initial and rejected forms. Now that field is updated and passes on to the next form successfully.

Thanks everyone!

You would need to use the CONCATENATE as opposed to Default values in my opinion

I did it like this and it appears to work when I jump between task.

=CONCATENATE(Keyword1,":",Keyword2,":",Keyword3)

Is your Rejection process using the same form as the entry form?

No, it is not using the same form. But what I didn't think to do is put the grouped value within the initial form. I'll try that.
