Confiform - field value change without browser refresh

mmxv June 6, 2025

Hi,

Beginner at Confiform.
I have set up a page, the main part being a 6 points check-list.
6 action buttons trigger the update of each step of the check list, and fill the completion date.
All these displayed in a tableview. Which updates "dynamically", each time an action button is pressed, the fields update in the table immediately.

Now I would like to have a synthetic progress indicator at the top of my page.
I could built such a field with rules (either from the action button action, either with an IFTTT macro), and then display the field at the top of my page with a listview (or any sort of view).

My trouble is that is does not refresh the field value as the main tableview does. I refreshes to the correct value but only after a browser refresh.

the only way I could have it working, was putting the indicator in the same view as the action buttons. But that's not what I need, I need separate locations on my page.

Hi @mmxv 

Do I understand correctly that you have set up action buttons to collect the data?

Why not just have a radio button or a checkbox field that a user can click to mark the "action is done"?

There is no extension point in ConfiForms to add an "indicator" on the action button click at the moment

First I wanted the date to auto-fill.
Second I wanted to avoid users to enter any "edit mode" which, if I am not mistaken, only the action button allows on confiform.

It does not have to be linked to the action button, What I don't get is why do fields dynamically update in a the tableview, but not elsewhere ?

On DC version of ConfiForms the app does not propagate changes to other "views" - only the one that is currently active and used to trigger a change

Date can be autofilled by the ConfiForms IFTTT rule to create/update the entry or via the Set value field definition rule accessing [entry._now] variable
