Exact Forms

Question

Hello,I am following the exact form guide on the Quickbase help page but I am running into an issue. As directed, on the word document I put all my field id#s in tildes but Quickbase is not picking them up as field ID#s but rather just text. So the output on the exact form is, "~15~" rather than the content of field 15. Has anyone else encountered this problem or has any insight into how to solve it. If I find a solution I will post it in this thread. Thanks in advance!Link to help page I have been using: Creating Exact Forms (quickbase.com)------------------------------Hank Halverson------------------------------

I have a simple form built this way and it's working fine for me. Is this the way you're entering them on your template?:

Output:

Note that you can use the field name as well as I have here.

This is my input from the word doc that has been linked to my QB table. I used both the name and the FID# to see if it was a field formatting issue.
And this is the output in an Iframe.

I output mine with a URL button,&nbsp; perhaps give this a try:

URL Formula button:
URLRoot() &amp; "db/" &amp; Dbid() &amp; "?a=dbpage&amp;pagename=" &amp; URLEncode("YOUREXACTFORMPAGE.html") &amp; "&amp;clist=a&amp;rid=" &amp; [Record ID#]------------------------------Jeff Peterson------------------------------

Yeah, I have been switching between the button and the Iframe view. Neither seems to be successful, unfortunately. I will see if I can meet with Kirk Tracey during his office hours tomorrow as he has a couple of videos on the topic. I appreciate the help though and I will report back to this thread with some solutions.------------------------------Hank Halverson------------------------------

If I remember right, I *think* it may be something to do with the usage of app tokens.&nbsp; If you have app tokens on, exact forms don't work.&nbsp;&nbsp;https://community.quickbase.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=736994e0-6eec-4200-a237-38fcf2a4eebd&amp;CommunityKey=d860b0f8-6a48-487b-b346-44c47a19a804&amp;tab=digestviewerI hear that there *may* be some changes coming to exact forms, possibly announced at Empower here in a month...------------------------------Jeremy Myer------------------------------
