Button to go to related record in a different table
Hi, I have 2 tables, I would like to add a button in the form from the Accounts table that takes me directly to the related record in the Findings table. Both tables have the same Account ID field so I have created a table to table relationship between the two. I'm assuming I can achieve this with a url field with a formula that some how finds the related record in the Findings table by matching the account ID# but I have no idea what that formula would be. Please help ThanksIncluding two classes in one button
I'm working with a rich text button. The button is on a parent record. The user clicks the button, the parent is saved, and then a popup opens to add a child record. When I add the savebeforenavigating class, the button stops opening the window in a popup and instead opens in a new tab. Is it possible to include both classes in the same formula? var number rid = [Record ID#];var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_CHILDREN] & "?a=nwr" & "&_fid_10=" & URLEncode($rid) & "&ifv=1" & "&hs=1"; var text color = "#228B22"; var text txtcolor = "White"; "<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' & \"OpenAsPopup\" data-height=\"800\" data-width=\"1000\" data-refresh=\"true\" " & "style=\"text-decoration: none; text-align: center; background:" & $color & "; color: " & $txtcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; margin: 2px; padding: 5px 5px; width: 100px; display: inline-block; font: 14px/ 'Calibri', 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; text-shadow: none;\"href='" & $url & "'>Add Child</a>"
Validate New Drop-Down Options Before Saving
I have a drop down field that allows user to create new options, but I'd like to prevent people from adding any options with a specific key word. I thought I could accomplish this with a formula field that would just check if the drop-down field contained the key word. The problem I've run into is that it seems the formula fields are reading the new option as '_other' rather than what has been entered. I assume that is the placeholder that's used because the new option doesn't actually get saved to the drop-down field options list until the record is saved, but I cannot think of an alternative way to validate the field because of this issue. Here was my formula, just for reference: If( Contains([field],"Keyword"), Case([field], "Valid Option with Keyword",false, "Other Valid Option with Keyword",false, true), false )
Mobile Phone - add picture
We have an extensive Time & Expense app that I want to be able to add the receipt picture via the mobile device camera per expense record. Adding the expense is easy, but our current method of adding receipts is an event related table with a collection of receipts that are not oriented per expense (yes, that one fixable problem). Now, I could add the "Add Receipt" button to the expense record, but they still have to photograph the receipt first. I want to do this in one step - click the "add receipt" button, the camera open, take the pic, save to the expense record. Is there a way to do this while avoiding another expensive add-on like FastField license per user seat? Thank you,
Reveal long multi-line text by clicking an ellipsis
I have multi-line text fields with unlimited length. In table reports I'd like them to function like social media comments where long strings of text are revealed by clicking the ellipsis ('...'). Wondering if this can be done in a Formula-Rich Text field. Currently my field displays the text up to the 30th space character followed by an ellipsis; the full text displays in the hover-over bubble. This works but I'd prefer the simplicity of click-to-reveal. My current Formula-Rich Text field is as follows: var text TitleText = SearchAndReplace([Text Field], "\"", "'"); If(Part([Text Field], 30, " ") != "", "<p title=\"" & $TitleText & "\">" & Part([Text Field], 1, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 2, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 3, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 4, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 5, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 6, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 7, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 8, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 9, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 10, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 11, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 12, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 13, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 14, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 15, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 16, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 17, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 18, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 19, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 20, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 21, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 22, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 23, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 24, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 25, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 26, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 27, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 28, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 29, " ") & " " & Part([Text Field], 30, " ") & "...</p>", [Text Field])
Count days between 2 dates with a twist
I have a Start date and end date I am using the Weekdaysub(end date), (Start Date). but i want to add a IF statement like say to add saturdays to the mix. so if I was to set the date from 5/25/2025 and end on 5/30/2025 but if the saturdays check box was clicked it would also add the saturdays between those dates and return 6 (Monday-Saturday) and if the saturdays was not checked it would return 5 (Monday - Friday)Best practice for using @mention in a log rich text field.
Anybody have a best practice on using the 'Mention' feature in a log rich text field? My use case is: A rich text field w/ log edits turned on is used as a collaboration tool for team members to provide updates and ask each other questions. They mention each other in the comments and receive an email when they have been mentioned, via the handy 'send to users @mentioned' feature in the new notifications (see image below). However, when the 'Log edits' setting is turned on, Quickbase will email ALL the users who have ever been mentioned, when really we want just the person/people who were mentioned in the most recent comment. My workaround for this is to create a formula field to parse out the most recent comment and then a webhook or form rule to enter this value into another rich text field, with the @mention feature turned on. This last rich text field is used in the 'To' setting of the notification. This is a lot of work to simply use the mention feature! Is there a better way to do it that I'm missing?
