Hi. 

I hope that you guys can help me!

I have this problem that the element id isn't the same as the form response ID. 
So the result is to differents outputs. 

My form looks like this: 

lundte_0-1594289213181.png


But the outcome is this:

Formular response id 29

lundte_1-1594289294898.png

Sharepoint ID 29

lundte_2-1594289348270.png

 

What do I do wrong?

    Hi!

    Weare closer to a happy ending, just forgot the spaces, one between internal column name and operator, the second one between the operator and the first single quote:

    ContractNumber_x003a_ eq '527497 '

    Hope this helps

    "message""The term \"ContractNumber_x003a_eq'527497 '\" is invalid.

    Hi!

    According to your screenshot you are not building the ODATA Filter correctly, please check again the screenshot I shared as example

    The internal column name is missing, the operator also, and you forgot to add the single quotes

    Please try again and let us know your progress

    Thanx!

    When I try your solution is says that the "request is invalid".

    Hi!

    Is the contract number unique in your SP list? I mean, do you have no more than one element in your SP list with a specific Contract Number?

    If so, you can replace 'Get item' and use 'Get items' instead. In order to read your target element, you can assign an ODATA  in 'Filter query' input, or add a 'Filter array' action block after your 'Get items'

    Please take a try and let us know your progress

    Thanx!

    Hi. 

    I think ID comes from the number of responses. I actually dont know, it isnt a number I give it. 
    The only unik number in the form, is the Contract number.

    Hi!

    Where does the 'Formular response id 29' come from?

    Is there a specific question on your Form asking for the responder to enter this ID?

    Thanx!
