Add entry to webservice call

[Simon Larson]

Hi,

I'm making a form where users select a country from a webservice dropdown which is fetching data from this API https://skatteverket.entryscape.net/rowstore/dataset/70ccea31-b64c-4bf5-84c7-673f04f32505/html. I have this problem where one country is missing, and since I'm dependent on other data connected to these countries I'm forced to use this API.

Right now I have an ugly workaround with check boxes that is representing this missing country that hides/shows other content, but if I could add data to the dropdowns that would be optimal. Is this possible somehow?

Thanks in advance

Hi

May be you can copy all the countries into ConfiForms form, adding your missing one there as well and then using that form's data through the smart field in your other forms?

Basically dropping dependency on this webservice and using ConfiForms forms instead

Thanks for your response. Issue here is that each country is an object with multiple properties (per diem being the main one) that is updated live. Wouldn't using only confiforms make it static?

Any data you copy from one system to another becomes a snapshot of the original data. Nothing specific to ConfiForms here.

If you need a real-time data from an external system then ConfiForms offers integration points for that, those web-service enabled field types.

I have no other solution for you than to have a "custom path" when the country and the metadata for it is missing. 

Or notifying the service owner that the country is missing so they can fix their service
