    Hi Chris, 

    If your passing data to subforms, then you can just use {parent_dcn} as the dynamic value in the subforms field. 

     

    If its data that present on a subform/s then you can use the following to pull that data back up to its parent. 

    parent_form_dcn.subform_widget_dcn[0].subform_field

    [Parent_form_dcn] = The forms tablename

    [Subform_widget_dcn] = The Subform Widget name

    [subform_field] = this is the field of data that you want to send to the parent. 

     

    hope the above helps somewhat.

    Hi Karl,

     

    I cannot use subforms due to the need to have the ESRI map element in what would otherwise be subforms.  They have to be main-level forms instead, meaning I need to find another way of sharing common data, or have it entered multiple times which is less than ideal. I'm not sure if your solution addresses this, as I am learning about forms as I go.

     

    I will also need to find a way of associating the forms together as they will all relate to a particular address, and then be used again for multiple other addresses - probably a short unique ID for that.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Chris

    Hi Chris, do you want users to enter different location for different form levels (1 address on parent record, 1 different address on subform record) ? Or do you want users to capture the ESRI location once on the parent level, then have that duplicate in the subform?

    Hi Chris, 

     

    Ok so if the fields, are all based in one form, just later on, you should just be able to use {SOURCE_DCN} on any field to replicate its data, or you can split to raw data from ESRI, into those fields, that way it should pass data through that form to the required fields. 

    thats presuming im understanding you right.
