RegEx replace
Hello, I'm trying to implement a regex replace to remove all special characters from a field. However, it's not working as expected. The result still shows certain special characters and line breaks. Here is an example. Could you provide the regex pattern you're using and the example text? This will help me understand the issue better and offer a more precise solution. RegexReplace([field_name],"[^A-Za-z0-9 ]", "") If you have any ideas on how I can refactor my formula, I'd love to hear them!
User Focus Table Bug - New Record ID not being passed from source table to user focus table
I have a User Focus table that has worked without any issues for nearly a year. Today, a user let me know that records stopped appearing on their end partway through the day (the API_RunImport call needs to work for them to see the records on their end once created). The first 12 records they created worked fine, then suddenly, new records stopped behaving as expected. After some investigation, I found that the problem is due to the Record ID (RID) from the source table not being written to the User Focus table. This breaks the subsequent API_RunImport, since there is no RID to tell the import which record to merge with. The workflow was still working fine earlier today, then stopped without any changes being made. Context: I am the only builder for this app and no one else has access to change fields or formulas. No recent changes have been made to the fields involved. I have run several tests, but the RID ([Record ID#]) is consistently not being passed through anymore. All other fields are still being written correctly to the User Focus table. Workflow Summary: User creates a new record in the Immature Plant Batches table. A Formula-URL button is clicked, which triggers the logic below and reloads the form. The form is set to auto-save when redirected. Here is the relevant portion of the formula: var text ProductionAddUser = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_USER_FOCUS] & "?act=API_AddRecord" & "&_fid_6=" & ToText(User()) & "&_fid_118=" & URLEncode([Record ID#]) & "&_fid_119=" & URLEncode([Plant - Strain]) & "&_fid_143=" & URLEncode([IMPB - Next Immature Plant Batch Suffix - Production]); var text ProductionEditUser = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_USER_FOCUS] & "?act=API_EditRecord" & "&key=" & ToText(User()) & "&_fid_118=" & URLEncode([Record ID#]) & "&_fid_119=" & URLEncode([Plant - Strain]) & "&_fid_143=" & URLEncode([IMPB - Next Immature Plant Batch Suffix - Production]); var text ProductionEditOrCreateUser = If([Current User - User Exists?], $ProductionEditUser, $ProductionAddUser); var text RunProductionImport = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_IMMATURE_PLANT_BATCHES] & "?act=API_RunImport&ID=14"; var text NewProductionBatch = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&dfid=15" & "&_fid_57=" & URLEncode([Related Scheduled Task]) & "&_fid_77=" & URLEncode([Related Planned Harvest]) & "&_fid_17=" & URLEncode(Today()) & "&_fid_8=" & URLEncode([Related Planned Harvest - Location]) & "&ifv=1&hs=1" & "&z=" & Rurl(); var text ProductionBatch = $ProductionEditOrCreateUser & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($RunProductionImport) & URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode($NewProductionBatch)); $ProductionBatch Again, everything except for the RID from the source table not getting passed and written to the user focus table anymore. Without that RID, the import fails to find a matching record to merge. Has anyone experienced something similar recently? Or does anyone have ideas why [Record ID#] might suddenly stop resolving mid-day when it was working previously? Thanks in advance for any insight. I am really stumped here.How to display clickable links from two separate tables under one field
I have an app with the following setup. IVRT and ARHIFU are parent tables. All Patients is the child table. In All Patients, I have lookup fields pulling in patient name report link fields from both the IVRT and ARHIFU tables: [IVRT Patient Name Link] (from IVRT) [ARHIFU Patient Name Link] (from ARHIFU) These lookup fields correctly show the patient names as clickable links in the All Patients table. Now, I would like to display the clickable links from both of these parent tables under one field in the All Patients table. (See attachment). The problem I am running into is keeping them as clickable links. How can I display the clickable links from both parent tables under one field in All Patients? If a formula is needed to achieve this, what would that formula look like? Thank you! Meagan
Printing to Dymo Label Printer
Hello all, I just wanted to share how I was able to successfully set up a print button to print using a Dymo label. I have been searching online for a solution and I was being pointed to Trinity and that just wasn't an option with my organization. So below is the steps I took to get what I needed. Step 1 Create a Formula Rich Text field with the address information. Below is the formula I used to get it my address in one field. Everywhere you see brackets, those are my field names. I have Name, Organization, Street Address, Street Address-2, City, State/Region and Postal Code. You will need to change those names in my formula to fit your field names. Also, we have some [Organization] that are very long so we I had to add some adjustments to the font if the character length got to a certain size. My formula is attached in the word document labelled "Step 1 Formula". Step 2 Create a form on that table that specifically displays only the formula rich text field you created above. My field is named Address Label. The only thing you need to put on that form is the Address Label field you created in Step 1. Remember to hide your label on the form to remove the name of the field. The picture attached labeled "Step 2" shows what my form looks like. It won't be much since its only one field with a hidden label. Step 3 Make note of the Form Id number for your new form. Mine is '10'. Step 4 Create a formula URL field on your table to execute the print. My field is labeled "Print". I also made it a button for a cleaner look. The formula I used for my button is attached labeled "Step 4 formula and field settings" Replace Realm Name, TableID, [Record ID#] and IDofTheForm with your information. Realm Name Located in your URL browser. Mine is dekalbcountyga https://dekalbcountyga.quickbase.com/ TableID Located in your URL on the table you are wanting to access just before the /table. In this example, mine is kdubsk9v kdubsk9v/table [Record ID#] This is the key field in your table. The default for every table is [Record ID#], however, if you changed the name of your key field like I did, you will need to put that field name there. IDofTheForm Located in your main Form page. Previously I showed mine was 10 Change the settings in that field to display a button, open in a new window, etc. Image attached labeled "Step 4" is a screenshot of all my settings in this fieldOnce you have that done, the only thing you need to do is in the print settings, after you select your Dymo printer, you will need to change your margins to None. I am in now way a Quickbase pro but I will help anyway I can. Hopefully you all find this useful. :)
Color Code Fields
I have looked everywhere and tried everything I can find but no luck. I want to background color a field if the values are the same. For instance, if a field for "Job 2345" has the number 523 in the ID field and "Job 1234" has the same 523 number in the ID field, color the background so they're identifiable. And hopefully grouped together so all jobs with field ID 523 can have the same crew assigned. Thoughts?
Text Field with Current Year
Hello, I'm trying to create a text field called "Reporting Year" where users can only enter numerical values for a year (i.e., 2023). Also, I need the field to be auto-populated with the current year (i.e., 2025); if the users wants to change this, they can do so. I haven't been able to completely figure this out on my own, so I appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance!
