Reference current datacardkey in formula

Posted on by Aethyta

Is there an easier way to reference the current field's DataCardKey in the formula (i.e like Self, Parent, Thisitem)?

For example, I'm displaying a tooltip on an HTML text when a field is selected:

Set(varHintTitle, DataCardKey186.Text); Set(varHintText, LookUp('Tooltips', Title = DataCardKey186.Text, Tooltip));

Instead of indicating the actual DataCardKey#, I'm looking for a way to dynamically reference it.

Hi @Tamras ,

It depends what is in the Key - if it is Parent.DisplayName (which is standard), you can use this, but otherwise you cannot dynamically refer to controls.
