Forms crash with "Unexpected error" when selecting record reference field as condition
Whenever I try to create a form rule based that has a record link numeric field as a condition, quickbase crashes with Unexpected error. Something went wrong! One note: This currently is the only field I have for this relationship in my table. I don't have any lookups. I have tried to create a new form with just one of the record link fields and it still fails. Any hints for me?On Form Open, populate an User and Timestamp field. No way to trigger rule on Form Open?
Hi! Use case: On opening a form (new or existing record) I want to auto-populate a field (e.g. timestamp field with now() and a user field with currentUser()) when the fields are currently empty. I tried the following: ❌ A trigger that is just user == <other> with a blank field --> should be true on open but does not do anything ❌ A custom when formula with the content `true` --> definetly true on open, but does not do anything ❌ Record ID != -1 (also always true) does not do anything ✅ A trigger "when checkbox is checked" using a helper checkbox: As soon as user checks, checkbox, the field fills correctly. But this is not the intended behaviour 🤔 The options to change field value after save and validation also seems to work (mostly) But this is not the intended behaviour. Any way of enabling this pattern of "fill a field when form is opened (and field is empty)" would be helpful.
Looking for formula help
I am trying to write a formula that will subtract to date fields only when certain conditions are met. The fields for the conditions are checkbox fields. The formula field I started below is numeric. This formula works without the conditions of the checkbox fields. If([RX Ready Date]<[Plan Set -Up All],0,(not IsNull([RX Ready Date])),ToDays(([RX Ready Date]-[Plan Set -Up All]))) I want to add to the formula to only subtract the dates when [Pharmacy], true and [Fast Track] is false (both checkbox fields). Any help to add in the conditions is much appreciated.Populating Child Table Date Field to Parent Record
I have a Parent/Child table relationship for two tables. On the Child table there is a date field that I would like to populate up to the Parent table for use on every new child record in the Child table. Do I need to create a new one to many relationship for the current child table to the current Parent table flipping them in this new relationship or can this be done in the current relationsip? Thanks Brian
Help! Formula Query with multiple conditions.
My query is not returning any value for records that meet the conditions. ToNumber(ToText(GetFieldValues(GetRecords("{86.EX.'"&true&"'}" & "{15.EX.'"&[mhe_type]&"'}", [_DBID_BTS_METRICS]), 10))) I need to return the field value (fid 10) from the table [_DBID_BTS_METRICS] when field ID 86 in the queried table is true (checkbox is checked) and the value in field ID 15 is equal to the value in the field [mhe_type] in the querying table. I have tried: punctuation, format, etc numerous times using a text field to give the checkbox a yes/no value and using that field (fid 89) in the conditions in case it is the checkbox giving me the problem changing it to a SumValues query, but then it returned a value of 0.The Qrew Update
