Hi @rytze ,

You could set the BarcodeReader's OnScan property to save the retrieved values into three variables respectively, then set these three variables as the default values for your controls, and finally reset these controls. This way, you can achieve automatic form filling after scanning a QR Code.

I meant the code for the onscan property to save the retrieved values into three variables respectively and to reset.

Hi @rytze ,

For example, I assume there is a barcode:

{"Machine_ID":"12345","Check_in_datetime":"2024-01-01T09:08:00Z"}

The Formula should be:

Set(Machine_ID,Text(ParseJSON(Last(Self.Barcodes).Value).Machine_ID)); Set(Check_in_datetime,Text(ParseJSON(Last(Self.Barcodes).Value).Check_in_datetime));

does the check_in_datetime separate? because i need them filled individually like check_in_date and check_in_time. and how do i get the result cause im not getting anything. i have added empty text boxes next to the fill where the result should be at.

Hi @rytze ,

The date picker control can only select dates and cannot select times.

In addition , if you want to get hours and minutes , please try:

Set(Check_in_hour,Hour(DateTimeValue(Text(ParseJSON(Last(Self.Barcodes).Value).Check_in_datetime)))); Set(Check_in_Minute,Minute(DateTimeValue(Text(ParseJSON(Last(Self.Barcodes).Value).Check_in_datetime))));
