Merging information from one fill-in form into another fill-in form

[Former Community Member]

Is there a way to take the information that has been filled in on a Repair Estimate form and merge it into a Repair Detail form?

The Repair Estimate form may have a lot of parts listed that may be used to repair a tool. When the repair has been made they have to fill out a Repair Detail form where you have to relist all the parts used again.

Without having to relist all the parts, I'm looking for a way to merge this info into the final form.

Thanks...    HHud

Hi,

The following are assumptions that the form is part of a web app.

I think the way to do this is to place a 'Submit' button onto the 'Repair Estimate' form, which will send the XML data of the form to a specific URL.

In this URL, we can grab the required details from the received XML. This required details can be used to prepopulate the Repair Detail form before it is being rendered.

If the form is not part of a web app, an easy solution is global binding of the parts text fields.

Yes the form is part of a web app.

I will give this a shot and see if it will work for this application.
