Populate a second form database from fields on the first form

Hi-

If I have two forms and the first form has two fields that I would like duplicated on the second form in the backend database, is this possible.

For example, a user submits information on the first form and in the database the ID is created and the field for the name was submitted. If I have a second form I would like this database to automatically pull in this ID as a new record for the second form and populate the name in the same field.

Would this be possible?

thank you

Hi,

creating new record sets in the database (data tables) is only possible through actually submitting a form. Visforms is very thouroghly while handleing user inputs and manipulating the database directly would be very error prone in the context of Visforms.

Visforms allows you to redirect to another page (the second form in your case) after the first form was submitted. It further on allows you to use user inputs from the first form as url paramters in the redirect url which allows you to automacally set inputs from the first for in this second form. But the user has to submit the second for in order to create a record set in the data table for the second form and this will only work as expected if all processes (send first form, redirect to second form, send second form) are really "chained". If the second form is called by any other way, the default values would not be set.

Check out this documentation please.
