Adding (dynamic) text to a form??
I have a form that is a series of text boxes with a label. 90% of our users all read English, but we have one location in Germany where some users do not. When customizing the form, I can see how I can add a text label. I was thinking I could add one of these text label fields for each text box I have which would be a German translation of the English label. So far, I think this will work for me. However, what I REALLY want to do, is this. I have a location dropdown on the form. I am already using dynamic rules to hide certain text boxes based on location. I would love to be able to hide the text label with the German translation for each text box by default, and then if I select GERMANY in the location dropdown, the dynamic rules would make the German text label visible. From the initial look of things, I can't do this. I am hoping someone can tell me I am wrong and may have an idea on how I can make this work. Thanks! Brian
Multi-File Upload
I have been using the ole Magic Buttons "Multi-file Upload" with a code page for years, love it, but it does not function correctly with the new forms. It will add the files behind the scenes, but it will not return & refresh. If I use the back-button and refresh, all is good. - messy with new forms. Is there a way to fix the ole Magic Buttons "Multi-file Upload" code pager to work with the new forms? Now moving on to new forms.... Using the lates QB Plugin for drag & drop upload of files, it simply will not save the parent before adding files, which clearly creates a relationship mess if you continue. Removing the button on parent add records creates another mess of users not updating or adding files. Within the button of execution, is there a way to save and go directly to uploading files when clicking the plugin button to add files? save the parent and enforce the upload of file(s).Reminder Notification for Upcoming Birthdays
We want to know when an employee's birthday is upcoming. We capture their DOB in a date field, so how do I get that month/day information in a format that I can use in a Reminder notification? ------------------------------ Keith Hendrick ------------------------------Automating Manager Approval via Email
I have a QuickBase table with a 'Manager Approval Status' field set to 'Pending' by default. When a manager selects 'Yes' or 'No' in the approval field, the 'Manager Approval Status' field updates to 'Approved' or 'Denied.' I want to send the manager an email notification (when the field is new or changed) where they can simply click 'Yes' or 'No' in the email to update the table automatically. How can I set this up?

Way to do Editable Lookup Fields?
I was wondering if there is a way to do an "editable lookup field"? I have 52 tables - one strictly for contact information for all US states, and one for each state that has some of that contact information, as well as some added columns for tracking our data on them. These tables do need to be separate with the way our workflow and filters need to be set up. I would like to be able to set it up to where if we are working on the tracking table and we find a better email, if we update it on that document, it updates on the master contacts. And vice versa, contacts updates our state's tracking sheet. I believe lookup fields are non-editable by nature, so I didn't know if you all would recommend something? I have lightly tested out a pipeline method for this, but I would need many pipelines to accomplish this effectively.
Display Thumbnail Image
I have a field to display a thumbnail image;the formula is If([Image File (jpeg)]<>"" ,"<img style='max-height:200px; max-width:200px' src='" & URLRoot() & "up/" & Dbid () & "/a/r" & [Record ID#] & "/e30/v0'/>") The image is not showing in the Form or Report view. Is the formula the issue?Pipeline Error Emails - There has been an error in your pipeline.
Earlier this year, the people incharge of the development of Pipelines stated on a zoom call, that the Pipeline Error messages would be improved & become more useful. Here were are almost a year later, and I still receive emails with a subject line of "Error on Pipeline 5449755848XXXXXXX" with the generic body of "There has been an error in your pipeline." Unless I click on each email, I don't know if the message is anything we need to worry about. If you are like us, we have a LOT of pipelines. Some that have periodic errors, that we can't control or fix. So basically these emails have gone from "something is broken; look into a fix", to the boy who cries wolf (and are ignored, until someone notices an update hasn't run for over a day!) We have even gone through the trouble of creating our own QB logging table for our pipelines, where we write a log file at the start time of the pipeline, and update that record at the end of the pipeline (so if the record isn't marked completed within 30 minutes, it becomes an "error". ) This allows us to have direct links to the pipeline activity log, record the file that was used to update a record, show how many records were added/updated/processed, and more. Hoping that someone from the Pipelines team sees this, or someone who is better in the know... who can share when this "improvement" to error emails will be realized. Even if they just replace "Error on Pipeline 5449755848XXXXXXX" with the name of the actual pipeline would go a LONG way for most users! ------------------------------ Joe Drosen ------------------------------Ambigious Pipeline Error?
I have created a pipeline with several steps, I have one step that saves a pipeline object which is just saving my api respond and that seems to fail inconsistently while it works other times. The error I get is Something went wrong executing a step. Try modifying your pipeline. What issues could cause this? Could it be a timing it issue in regard to it having to wait for the response?
