Hey,

I have a form, in which I have a subform. This subform itself has an object. This object is a Select object (dropdown). Here is the SQL query:

Code: Select all

SELECT opportunite_id, opportunite_nom
FROM opportunite
WHERE opportunite_contact_client='#RECORD_ID#'

Though, the dropdown is empty on the subform:

Is #RECORD_ID# a valid hash cookie on a subform to get the record_id of the main form the subform is on ?

No. Try this:

Add this to your main form's js:

Code: Select all

if (nuFormType() == 'edit') {
  nuSetProperty('MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID', nuCurrentProperties().record_id);
}

(Note: For new forms, record_id is -1)

Then in your SQL query:

Code: Select all

SELECT opportunite_id, opportunite_nom
FROM opportunite
WHERE opportunite_contact_client='#MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID#'

Toms, thank you! There is an interesting thing happening:

I added a display object on the main form to display the value of '#MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID#'. When I enter the form in edit mode, the display object is empty (called "test" in the following screenshot), and thus my subform select object is empty too:

But then when I click on Arrange objects in the options, that I move the display object containing the value of '#MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID#', and I save, the display object works and the select object in the subform works as well:

When I leave the form and come back, again nothing shows in the display and select objects.

I think #MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID#' is unknown/not yet set when the subform is created.
Arrangning objects/saving will refresh the form and at that time the hash cookie is available and therefore resolves.

What you could try: Save the record id of the main form to a text input field (e.g.mainformrecordid and use that field as hash cookie in your sql (#mainformrecordid#)

Code: Select all

function nuBeforeSave() {
    if (nuFORM.edited == true) {
        $("#mainformrecordid").val(nuCurrentProperties().record_id).change(); 
   }
    return true;
}

So I tried, and this time, even after moving an object and saving, nothing shows.

My display object:

Code: Select all

SELECT contact_id
FROM contact
WHERE contact_id='#mainformrecordid#'

My select object:

Code: Select all

SELECT opportunite_id, opportunite_nom
FROM opportunite
WHERE opportunite_contact_client='#mainformrecordid#'

I think #MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID#' is unknown/not yet set when the subform is created.

What if we try to define #MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID# before the subform is created. Like at the moment the user clicks on a line in the browse form, before entering edit form ?

...and there's a field on your form (mainformrecordid) with the record id in it?

You could try this:

Code: Select all

function nuSelectBrowse(e) {

    var r   = $('#' + e.target.id).attr('data-nu-primary-key');
    nuSetProperty('#MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID#', r);
    nuForm(nuGetProperty('form_id'), r, '', '', '1');
    
}

Hey toms,

...and there's a field on your form (mainformrecordid) with the record id in it?

No there are no record id in it. I try to show the current value of #mainformrecordid# but it is empty.

I tried with your last suggestion, still the same, nothing shows both on the subform select object and on the form display object with this query:

Code: Select all

SELECT contact_id
FROM contact
WHERE contact_id='#MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID#'

Solved. A little typo in your last code:

Code: Select all

function nuSelectBrowse(e) {

    var r   = $('#' + e.target.id).attr('data-nu-primary-key');
    nuSetProperty('MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID', r); //Without #
    nuForm(nuGetProperty('form_id'), r, '', '', '1');
    
}

You put '#MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID#' instead of 'MAIN_FORM_RECORD_ID'

In the same idea, I'm trying to implement a function so that when on a 1st form, clicking on a button on this 1st form brings on a 2nd form, and on this 2nd form the record id value of the 1st form is pre-entered in one field of the 2nd form.

To do that, I added this on my 1st form:

Code: Select all

function nuSelectBrowse(e) {

    var r   = $('#' + e.target.id).attr('data-nu-primary-key');
    nuSetProperty('ENTREPRISE_ID', r);
    nuForm(nuGetProperty('form_id'), r, '', '', '1');
    
}

And this on my 2nd form:

Code: Select all

if (nuFormType() == 'edit') {
    $("#contact_entreprise_id").val('#ENTREPRISE_ID#').change(); 
}

But nothing is pre-entered in the field contact_entreprise_id
