Display contact address in custom table form (quickview form from contact)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 116

my portal requires a new user to provide a mailing address when they sign up, this is stored in address1 fields in the contact table. but when the user is filling out some other form I need to know if a service is required at the default mailing address or a different address.

 

To do this I would like to remind them of the address they previously provided. I have tried both a subgrid and a quickview form (this is my preference) . but after inserting these in my form neither of these show up on the portal.

 

I have added a table permission for contact as a child of my main table and selected the relationship between the two but have had no luck.

 

if anyone can offer any advice that would be great!

    So I may have spoken to soon.

    It does work on that page of the form, but when I try to advance to the next page I get these errors and the quickview form disappears

     

    "The form could not be submitted for the following reasons: You don't have the appropriate permissions"

    "Unable to find control with id 'QuickviewControl1655165636400' that is associated with the Label."

     

    I tried changing the permissions for contact to both write and append instead of just read but still get the same error

     

    edit: it may have been a local caching issue it seems to be working this morning

    If you are creating a new record you need:

    • Contact Lookup on the form
    • Add a Metadata record tot he Form, set: 
      • Type: Attribute
      • Attribute: the Contact Lookup field
      • then halfway down the Page there is a Prepopulate Field section, set:
        • Type: Current Portal User
        • Form Attribute (dropdown to far right: Contact (contactid)

     

    edit: if doing an Advanced Form, you could probably also just have step that is a form with the fields on it but set the Record Source (on the Form Definition tab) to Current Portal User

    I guess the answer to that is maybe.... I have "Associate Current Portal User" checked in that advanced form, but I don't know if that gets associated before the submit button is hit....

     

    I'm not married to the quickview form btw if anyone can think of any other way to show the contact mailing address of the current signed in contact on the form.

    On the "other form" is the Contact lookup that the quickview is linked to populated?

    @ragavanrajan I get the label from the quick view form (mailing address) but nothing else, no fields show u, not even field names if thats what you mean.

     

    I get two error in the console but I don't think either are related as I seem to get them on most of the portal sites I have built

    Hi @Jeff_ccs 

    Did you check the console? Can you spot any errors? Looks like you have properly set the table permission.  Just want to understand the quick view control doesn't show up? or the data in the control doesn't show up? 

     

    Hope it helps.
