Here what I am doing I am opening a details page of a record and I want then get a linked record from another table there is only one to one relationship here.
Then after getting the linked record have a conditional form open up based on the field I have in the linked record and allow my client to fill update this record.
Or what is the best way to do this.
The reason for conditional form is if the linked record has x fields filled I want to show y fields that already exist.
Hi there,
In conditional forms, you can prefill the fields that are on the first page of the form. Conditional forms are prefilled the same way as regular forms. Please check the article below for more details on how fields in forms can be prefilled.
In this example, I use this URL to prefill my form: https://mitzi5875.softr.app/?prefill_Level=Mid. When accessing this URL, the field will be prefilled. However, when accessing this URL: https://mitzi5875.softr.app/, the form will not be prefilled.
Please note that ‘Level’ in this case is the name of the field in my base. You should use the name of the field in the source of the form and not the name of the label.
So for your use case, you can have a dropdown field connected to the linked record of your base and prefill it via the URL. When users access the form page via that prefilled URL, the option will already be selected for them (though they can still change it, as prefilled fields, unlike hidden fields, are not locked). After selecting the option, they need to click the ‘Next’ button to see the next steps of the conditional form based on the preselected value of the first step.
