File Manager Plugin URL enhancement

Question

I am looking for a way to not just pass the parent Key field to the child document records I create. I want to be able to pass other field data into fields in the child record. For example currently when you add an individual document to a child record you can include code that let's you update other fields like this:

URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_NOTES] & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_18=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#])
& "&_fid_6=" & URLEncode ([Account Number])
& "&_fid_17=" & URLEncode ([AccountNow])
& "&z=" & Rurl()

This will put the Record ID# in the Related Claim field... the Account Number in field id#6 and the AccountNow text in the field ID#17 in the child table.

I can't figure out how to do that with the URL from the File Manager Plugin that looks like this:

var Text realmHostName = NotRight(NotLeft(URLRoot(), 8), "/");
"https://api.plugins.quickbase.com/launch?pluginId=qb-uploader&pid=" & [Record ID#] & "&configId=2l9yd2D12Du1Cqv2dYzmNNIaZKQ&appId="&AppID()&"&realmHostname=" & URLEncode($realmHostName)

Thanks for any help.

You cannot alter that URL at all. It's apples and oranges compared to a usual URL formula field. ie something completely different.

If you are looking to pass values down to a child records, you can just go to the relationship and add look up fields, right?
