Use Workflow to Query Laserfiche and Populate Back to a Forms Collection - Links and Checkboxes

asked on September 18, 2018 Show version history

Using Workflow to query Laserfiche for data. It fills the data into a collection. All's working well except now I'm trying to populate the link to each document and the Type of Submittal (check box).

1.  As you can see in the image below, my "sdsLink" field is populating with all three results instead of the one that goes with that specific document:

Maybe it cannot do it because I didn't retrieve the link the same time I retrieved the link info, so it doesn't know which one it belongs to? I declare sdsLink above the "For Each Entry". Then I have to use "Generate WebLink URLs" in order to get each sdsLink. Then I append with the generated link:

Then I use the updated token to put into the collection:

 

UPDATE:  Stop reading, #2 issue has already been resolved!

2.  The second issue is getting the checkbox to be checked. Here are the values I've set for each choice:

In Workflow, I'm taking the value from the "Notes" field:

and passing it back to forms through WF:

It doesn't pick up the values from Notes:

Hi Gloria

Are you pushing the Variable to a single line field in the Collection and then using that field to populate the Custom HTML field in the Collection?

I am.

I now see that my issue is not in Workflow (that's working) but in Forms and how the HTML custom code handles the metadata from each field. I will start a new question for this issue. Thanks!

Yes, there have seen issues with Custom HTML fields in a collections, I don't have specifics but it has been brought to my attention in the past.

I still need assistance with #1, however, #2 above has been resolved!

I changed the checkboxes to radio buttons (which is what it should have been to begin with) and redid the appending of the variable in workflow. That seemed to do the trick. Working great now.
