Hi,

How can i  read query string parameter on form load and based on that parameter i make a rest service api (pass the parameter), get the response and pre-populate certain form fields.

 

Thanks

  Hi Aamir,

  For this we can use JS injected into a form, please see below script.  I will also send you the sample application via email.

   

  //Generic Method to read parameter

  function urlParam(name) {

      var results = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.search);

      return (results !== null) ? results[1] || 0 : false;

  }

   

  eFormEvents.onFormLoadComplete = function () {

                 var controlName = 'Name';  //eForm UI Control name where value must be written

                 var controlValue = urlParam('Name'); // URL key passed in Query

                 eFormHelper.setFieldValue({fieldId: controlName, value: controlValue}); // Sets value from url to textbox

   

                 var controlName = 'EmployeeID';

                 var controlValue = urlParam('Emp');

                 eFormHelper.setFieldValue({fieldId: controlName, value: controlValue});

  }

  Hi Lukas,

  Would you be able to forward this app over me to as well? I am looking to click a button on form to launch another application and pass in values to fields.

  Thank you!

  Tim
