Displaying Formula - Text Field on a Code Page

I have a code page input form as a easy web intake interface for our clients. I was able with the form wizard to grab all the input fields (example code is below). However, I was wondering if it was...

APIs and custom code

If you're on a code page, you can't pull in a formula text field like you would on a form, but you can query for its value with javascript via the API (either the XML or REST if you happen to have a preference). If you're comfortable with that, I can post a code snippet up here to show you how to do it.

Christine,

That would be amazing if you wouldn't mind posing code snippet. I am pretty much a noob in terms of XML/REST so honestly I have no preference, whatever is easier. Thank you so much again!!

I guess it could totally help if i give context to my ask. I am trying to get the record id to populate on the code page. That way the client has a unique ID to refer to on the intake form. If there is an easier way to accomplish that, I'm totally open.

  Makes perfect sense - I'll post a snippet in the morning that you can dump into your page. We can work through the rest of need be.

  Another question for you - how are your users getting to this custom form/code page? Are they coming from a link on the form of the record itself? I'm trying to work out how we're going to know which Record ID# to pull in with the API call.

    Apologies for responding via email will respond on the post once my internet is back. When I go into settings then pages, when I click on view the page there is a hyperlink. So they are coming from the code page itself not the form. If there is a better way I'm definitely open. Thanks so much!!!!
