Hi Mark,

Removed the spaces and still no working.

Could it be something to do with "Set how different roles uses these forms" option?

Thanks,

Tim

The syntax for the form ID was incorrect. Remove the underscore. 

Also, while this was probably not the error as the parameter would be ignored, you do not need to provide an application token when a human user is editing or adding a record manually.

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks works perfectly, sometimes the smallest thing!

    Is there anything we need to add to the URL to get the API to work on a EOTI dashboard page?

      There is nothing different about EOTI in terms of the syntax of the API.

        Hi Mark.

        Thanks.

        Once a record has been added how can we display the record and associated form, the form it was created with, in edit and view modes?
