Use Entry ID to pull metadata of entry into a Form?

Forms Version 9 Capture
Updated March 20, 2014
asked on March 17, 2014

 I was wondering if I had a field in a form that a submitter fills with an entry ID, that I can use a stored procedure or a normal lookup to grab the metadata information related to that document. 

 

I obviously would only be expecting certain fields, so I only care to grab the information for these fields if it exists and ignore any other field information.

 

Is this something I could do? Will a lookup like this quickly change between versions? I could use any advise on this matter.

You can create a view based off of the propval table from the Laserfiche repository database and just focus on the fields you want. Then Forms can look up the entry ids against that view to get the field data. The concern is that the repository database schema can change in newer versions so you'll just need to be aware of that possibility if the repository is ever upgraded.

I think I will simply just create my own Database table which contains the metadata fields I need for those entries I know will be needed.
