Repository URL's in Forms Collection (LF Cloud)

Laserfiche Cloud Forms

Hello, I'm having an issue with my custom HTML Repository URL's populating the right entry id values within a Forms collection.

I have a collection on my form that represents check documents in the repository and I would like to have a button/URL that users can click to be taken directly to that document in the repository.

If my collection is completely populated by a data lookup, then the entry ID variable is empty until the form is submitted and therefore the repository URL doesn't work.

If I have workflow pass the entry ID values up to the forms process as a multi-value and assign the form as a task then the collection looks correct by having a row for each entry ID however the Entry ID variable in my repository URL is pulling ALL values of the variable separated by a semicolon. 

So for example, if my collection has 4 rows and each row has a single entry ID....the repository URL for each row would be: https://app.laserfiche.com/********id=94;98;104;108

Is there a way to format the variable use a certain value based off the row number (similar to using the INDEX function for field calculations)?

Or is there a better way to do this possibly?

If you have custom HTML using a variable, try using the ROW() qualifier like this
 

<a href="https://app.laserfiche.com/. . ./{/dataset/Entry_Table/Entry_ID_Col[ROW()]}" target="_blank">Entry ID</a>

I tried this but the variable won't populate a value and just inserts the variable as text.  I'm on LF Cloud by the was using the newer form designer so that might be a factor.

I have something similar to this.

Here is the code:

var index;
$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".myTable").on('click', '.viewDoc', openDoc);
});

function openDoc() {
  index = $(this).closest("div.form-q").index() + 1;
  var docID = $('[name="Field6(' + index + ')"]').val();
  var link="http://servername/laserfiche/Browse.aspx?repo=reponame#?id=" + docID;
  window.open(link);



}

This is what my table looks like:


Field6 being the field containing the entry ID being populated via lookup

.myTable is the class assigned to the collection

 

Hope this helps.
