ConfiForms: How to count records of connected form?

[Markus Hintzsche]

Hi there,

I've got two forms, They are linked with smart classifier

Form Main with some fields 

Form Sub with some other fields and a smart classifier linked to form Main (storing id of record of Main)

In Form Main I want to display the count of Sub-Records, belonging to the corresponding record. Is there a way to achieve this?

What I tried so far:

implement IFTTT on Form Sub (on Create/on Delete) and action = Create/Modify Entry. That way I tried to increment / decrement a value of a numeric field of Sub Main. That worked but seems to be over engineered to me. Is there a simpler approach?

Hi @Markus Hintzsche 

I dont think you need an IFTTT or anything like that

Could just use the queryCount function from https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions

To get always up-to-date number of records matching the criteria

As always, you can use it in the ConfiForms Field macro's field name parameter or via [entry.field_name] notation, if you need it as a "raw" value
