Question

Second form accessing existing process variable

asked on March 2, 2018

Hello,

I have a forms business process with two forms. One form is used for data entry; and one form is used for persisting in the repository. Most of the fields are the same on each. But when I go to add a new field on the data entry form (e.g., Name) and assign a variable name to that field (e.g., Student_Name); I am having difficulty also adding that field to the second form to point to the same variable. On the second form when I add a similar field and specify the variable name Student_Name, it ultimately saves it as Student_Name_1 instead of pointing to the Student_Name variable.

Does anyone know how I am able to add a field to the second form pointing to the same variable without it appending "_1" to the variable name?

 

Thanks,

Julie

Julia,

Instead of creating a new field on your new form, click on the "Variables" tab in the forms area. You will then see your existing fields which you can now drag onto your form the way you would drag new fields on.
