URL Formula Button w/ Two API Calls
I am working with 3 tables:
Parent Table: Work Orders-->
Intermediary (Child) Table: Subcontractor Quotes-->
Child Table: Status History.
I have an embedded report on my Work Order form w...
- You were really close The problem with the missing rid was that you had a leading _ underscore that did not belong. Here is how I would write it to be all in one button. I also strongly recommend that you make your formula as tidy and readable as possible like I have below.
var bool ShowButton = Contains([Quote Status], "Approved by PM");
var text Dispatch =
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_STATUS_HISTORY]
& "?a=API_AddRecord"
& "&_fid_16=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#])
& "&_fid_10=Subcontractor Dispatched"
& "&_fid_11=Subcontractor Quote Status"
& "&_fid_9=" & URLEncode(User())
& "&apptoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxx";
var text UpdateWorkOrder=
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_WORK_ORDERS]
& "?a=API_EditRecord"
& "&rid=" & URLEncode([Related Work Order])
& "&_fid_155=true"
& "&apptoken=xxxxxxxxxxx";
var text RefreshPage = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=doredirect&z=" & Rurl();
// the this is the syntax to nest three successive API calls, but I set that also to be a formula variable.
var text DoIt=
$Dispatch
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($UpdateWorkOrder)
& URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode($RefreshPage));
IF($ShowButton, $DoIt)
Feel free to post back if there are any syntax errors, but include a copy of the code.
