Page History

This demo is to show how the data can actually be referenced through the smart field (not copied to the other form, but used through the smart field)

In contrast to Authors and books - using rule to copy value from a referenced field

ConfiForms Form Definition

formName	form1

Register author

authorAuthortext

loadmeloadmetext

ConfiForms Form Definition

formName	form2

Register form 2

pickFromPick from[11862864|form1|loadme|true||]smartselect

Showing the data over form2, referencing the "author" field in form 1 using the ("smart") field in form 2

Chaning the author field in form 1 will be REFLECTED in this form view immediately (as the field is not copied, but only referenced)

ConfiForms TableView

formName	form2

pickFrom

Author field is from form1pickFrom.author
