ConfiForm alternative for webservice dropdown

[Maximilian Neufeld]

Hi yall, 

I have the following setup - using aliases to make it more clear.
Each entry in Form1 (cars) has its own page (LiveView) and jira issue (recursively written in the entry).

In each page there is a tableview (pointing on Form2) so I see all entries of Form2 (car-parts).

Every car (entry in Form1) has multiple car-parts (entries Form2) and I want to link the Jira Tickets of Form2 with the one in Form1. So what I try to achieve is a tableview of Form2 in the LiveView e.g. with a button that triggers an IFTTT which will link the JiraTicket of the entry in Form2 with the Jira Ticket of Form1.

So far I realized the setup with a Webservice Dropdown in Form1 getting all jira tickets of Form2 by REST-API. With approximatly 70 jira tickets for 70 entries in Form2 the webservice dropdown is getting really confusing.

Anyone got a clue if this is even possible?

Hi Max, instead of using a Webservice Dropdown in Form1, which gets cluttered with many entries, consider adding a hidden field in Form2 that stores the parent Form1 (car) Jira key. Then, use an IFTTT in Form2’s TableView (on the LiveView page) with a button that pulls the parent Jira key from the related Form1 entry and triggers the Jira linking via REST API. This keeps Form1 clean and shifts the action where it belongs — at the part level.

Hey Marie,

thanks for your idea! Not quiet sure if it solves my problem tho - in Form1 there are 200+ entries (Cars) so filling in the hidden Field would cause the same problem on the Form2 side (Dropdown on all the Cars) right?

How the form1 and the form2 are linked? By the page id?

[Maximilian Neufeld]

They arent linked at all right now -> Thats exactly what I am trying to achieve. But not through a Smart field -> It is too confusing with that many entries and not the ability to search.

Why you couldn’t search in a smart field? Smart dropdown advanced has this functionality

[Maximilian Neufeld]

I mean you can search, but you have to know what you are looking for.

I searched for a possibility to "browse" through the entries of Form2 (not only one field but multiple like in a table view) and then connect them to the Form1 entry...

Honestly, I am not sure what you are trying to build... Sorry, might be that someone else gets the idea better and proposes the solution
