Thank you so much for your amazing work - I’ve got almost everything working that I would like to use -
I have a question though, I can’t figure this out
When using the _uvc with a field that has more one paramater (e.g. Name field, Address, email)
How do we pull these sub-values into a search? I just get blank values for these fields tried heaps of stuff, square brackets - can’t figure it out
Help me out?
e.g. _uvc=Name, ’ - ', Email
produces this: -
in the search value - experimented using just text values and can pull this in no problem - so it seem s to be any field that has a sub-field structure
Thank you so much - I hate to come back about this but I have to!
I tried so hard to work around - but heres the issue - I need to include a Parent value in the _uvc
In my example this is
Company Name - Contact Name - Email Address (you have resolved the issues with the last two thank you)
You add the contact to the company and I want to check the uniqueness of this contact by including the name of the company
There does not seem to be a way to draw the company name into the Add Contact form - you could add the company connector - this will display as blank rather than the company you have added the contact to
I use that methodolgy you mention on You tube where I connect everything to a universal connector so the search will work
I tried using some custom Java to resolve, however from what I understand the only way to do this would be to do an object based request which would expose your app keys
If its view based you wont be able to reflect the Record ID as this is not a field and this is the only way to prefill the parent connected record
I want you to l know I work really hard on workarounds and will absolutely not keep bothering you - I just cannot resolve this issue!
One thought I had was if the _uvc could draw values from more than one view - a details as well as an add form then that would work - after all I dont need the Record ID - I just need the company name
also wanted to say I did experiment with going to a new child page where you could pull all the data you needed there and then do the search - only issue with that is you have already created the record at that point so it could be a duplicate …
I could prevent the user continuing on and have some other process to delete that contact so at least it get used - but all seems messy it would be best to prevent creation of the contact
First, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate you trying so much to make this work. And don’t worry, we’ll find a solution. It doesn’t sound too hard to do, it’s just a matter of finding the best and simplest way to achieve your goal.
I will send you a private msg so we can plan a meeting with our shared screens, and do a few tests.
I was lucky to have a meeting with Normand on the KTL tool that he built. It is truely powerful and amazing, Knack + KTL, I can only say that “sky is the limit”!
Something has happened with address fields within a form. I have a form that has an origination and destination address and for whatever reason since the last hour our users are unable to input in the second address field as it jumps back to the first. When we remove KTL it works fine.
I really appreciate the bulk edit function. When using it, however, the CSS code I enter for freezing a column (copied and pasted from other knack community posts) doesn’t seem to work with a table that uses the bulk edit feature. Can you please help?
Here’s the code I found in the forum:
#view_635 th:first-child, #view_635 td:first-child {
position: sticky;
left: 0;
z-index: 6; /* Increase z-index to be higher than the header */
background-color: #f9f9f9;
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
}
It all depends on which feature or keyword. Most keywords are applied to the view it’s been added to.
But in your case, I need more information. Can you give us a precise use case, with view IDs, field IDs and their types.
Maybe a screen grab would help, app or builder. I use ShareX for that. It’s great and free.
You should also use the GitHub’s page and create an issue or a discussion, so all can see it and benefit from your question. Other may have good answers also.
@NormandDefayette_CortexRD is a real star
I highly recommend checking out KTL.
As a no coder, it’s a great way to add additional functionality to your applications.
