Data Card Functionality on an Edit Text

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 62

Hi All,

 

Is it possible to grant an edit text box the ability to send information to a database just like a data card? I often find myself using an edit text to collect information and then storing whatever text is in the edit text box into its corresponding data card. I was hoping there might be a way to limit my need for a data card and just programmatically set up my edit text fields to send out the information. 

 

Please let me know if I need to provide additional information,

 

Thanks!

    Hi @Wahv 

     

    Yes, you can use the Patch() function for that:
