Question

Multiple Forms in a BP and Lookups

asked on June 27, 2023 Show version history

Hi all,

There is something I find very weird and somewhat disappointing with Laserfiche (cloud)

I have a Business Process with multiple forms. 

Form 1 > I set a variable called  ParentID.  
Form 2 > I am trying to call a Lookup Rule using ParentID as the value to pass as a parameter. However its unavailable. Even though if I look at Monitor I can see the variable value still exists, Form 2 can't access it. I try to set a Single Line control in Form 2 with {/dataset/ParentID} but it doesn't work. So Form 1 values are inaccessable by Form 2. Is that right?

To achieve what I'm trying to achieve, it seems I need to write this Form 1 value to another lookup table via a workflow task, then set a control in Form 2 using a lookup rule.

It just seems so damn clunky when its all the same business process. You can pass values from a previous form to a subsequent workflow without issue, but you can't access them within a subsequent form.

Brett,

If you add the ParentID field to Form2 from the variables tab instead of adding it to Form2 as a new single line field then the value of the ParentID field from Form1 will automatically pass to Form2.
