Question

Controlling a Text Multiple Choice Field Value with URL


Forum|alt.badge.img+9
I have an application that has a Text - Multiple Choice field called "Project Name" that  I would like to control the value of this field to have it pre-populated by clicking on the link to the form.  So basically when some one clicks the URL and the value is set in the URL, that field will be pre-populated with a value set in the URL.  I would have a different URL for each value in the Text - Multiple Choice field.

Is this possible to do?

Thanks
Brian

While this is definitely possible, I've got a few questions first. Can you explain a bit about how your application is structured? Specifically:
  1. Where are you wanting to build this URL? Is this on a different Table or is it on a Dashboard?
  2. The table where you are wanting to direct the user via the URL, how is it related to the location of the URL? (If it's a Table, is it a Parent table to the destination?)
  3. You've got a Multiple Choice for "Project Name" - are Projects a table in your application or do these exist in another system? Are there a finite number or will these change over time?
