Collection: Form not binding to data?

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by oguruma

I have a Gallery whose data source is a Collection (which is built from an API/Connector).

I use one of the Gallery's Controls to

ClearCollect(
colSelectedRecord,
ThisItem
)

When I set colSelectedRecord as the data source for an Edit form, I get the message "The form isn't connected to any data yet" and the available Fields show as blank...

@oguruma

Use LookUp(yourdatasource, ID=ColSelectedRecord.ID) for the items property of the form. Yourdatasource must be an actual data source, not a collection or variable and must match the datasource property of the form.

Hi @oguruma ,

The form control is not available to work with collections.

I think this link will help you a lot:

Not super helpful.... Nowhere seems to indicate what can be used as a datasource....

I tried using the API/Connector directly as the Datasource, but that doesn't work, either.

ERPNextAPI.Getaspecificdocument("Lead","CRM-LEAD-2022-00001").data returns a Record, however the Form still shows "Not connected to datasource.

ERPNextAPI.Getalistofdocuments("Lead", ...).data returns a table, but that also showed "Not connected to a datasource.
