Load Table data from one form into another

woogygun 08 Dec, 2011
Basically what im doing is allowing the user to fill in one form as a type of registration. the form is quite long getting personal details, company details etc. My clients original website had a drop down within the form that allowed them to register additional candidates. As i am unsure of how to do this in chronoforms ive opted for displaying to display the form to register additional people once they submit the first form. To keep things in order and linked up i want to recall data in the register additional people form from the first form, so that when the second form is submitted it comes with some data from the first linking them up for the user.

any thoughts on a better way to do this? or how to recall table rows from another form?

Hi woogygun,

There are two options. If you saved the data from the first form into the database then the DB Load Record action will get it back for you - provided that you pass the record id in the form.

Otherwise the 'Data to Session' and 'Session to Data' actions will do a temporary store and recall.
