Hi

Using V2025.12

I have a view page and and edited the Hyperlink and when I hover over it I get this

https://xxxxxx/FeedbackAdd?id=4

and when clicked it takes me to the FeedbackAdd page as expected

Now I need it to prefill the ID field on the FeedbackAdd page but am not sure how

Pointers appreciated

Kind Regards

Simply put this following code in Page_Render server event of your Add Page:

$this->id->EditValue = Get("id");

Hi

So that failed

on the view page we have

https://xxxxxx/FeedbackAdd?id=4

and this in

Page_Render server event Add \ Copy Page:

$this->id->EditValue = Get("id");

I now get

# 502 Bad Gateway

So an update and possibly a better description

I have a page

https://xxx/ImagesView/6?showdetail= from the images table and each image has a unique id

and i added the hyperlink in the view of the page this - so i get this

https://xxxxxxx/PictureFeedbackAdd?picture_id=6

idea being to pass the unique of 6 to the PictureFeedbackAdd page and it should prefill the picture_id cell

I also added to the

Page_Render server event Add \ Copy Page:

$this->picture_id->EditValue = Get(“id”);

Whilst the page does load it does not prefill the picture_id field with the number 6

sure its going to be obvious - its passing the correct value to the page but does not prefil

Help Appreciated

If “picture_id” is a lookup field, set the value to CurrentValue.

6

Wrong param name, it should be picture_id instead of id.

You may try this (assume picture_id uses Textbox control):

$this->picture_id->EditValue = Get("picture_id");

Hi

So that worked as expected - is there a way to just populate and show it - currently a user can change it

You may simply make the Textbox as read-only, by using Row_Rendered server event, for example:

if (CurrentPageID() == "add") {
    $this->picture_id->ReadOnly = true;
}
