Hi Mark,
So - in this case, each community would represent a unique field in the table; versus a drop-down list of communities in a single field?

Well you could have 10 relationships and then in each of the 10 sections of the form you could pull in a drop-down list of which community that little section is reporting on.

- JenniferJuhasz3 years agoQrew CadetHmmm. I'm not sure that's quite where I'm trying to go with the form;
Our staff needs to answer two questions for communities that they work within in a particular day. So, some days, they may have 10 communities (or 5 or 30, depends on the day) and 23 people they spoke with; Our leadership team has to report total #'s of connections for each community. I'm trying to find a way to make this process as simple as possible.
The first thought was, through conditional formatting, to have them say # of communities they were reporting on, and have the 'form' sort of automatically repeat below the 'header' section of the form that specified # of times.
However, the other thought I had was to just create a 'Save and submit another community' button; and somehow code that button to load a fresh version of the form but with the 'header' section already populated with the previous record's information so they don't have to re-enter it.
I'm thinking this second option with the button formula might work the best...
something like:
var text ButtonWords = "Save and Enter Another Community";var text URLONE = "https://familysmart.quickbase.com/db/bssv5j5n2?a=GenNewRecord&ifv=1&dfid=10";// Begin button stylevar text bgcolor = "#854b70";var text txtcolor = "white";var text style = "style=\"text-decoration: none; width: 310px; text-align: center; background:" & $bgcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; padding: 8px 10px; color: " & $txtcolor & "; display: inline-block; font: \"Arial, Times, Sans-serif\", sans-serif; text-shadow: none; font-size: 32px";// End button style"<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating'" & $style & " href=" & $URLONE & ">" & $ButtonWords & "</a>"
but then adding in an 'if FID = blank, then previous record content' - which is totally not a helpful bit of formula, I'm trying to puzzle through how to write this considering the button formula is using HTML to complete its save and navigate function.
