Redirecting to already filled form of selected instance from drop down column of another form

[bondsharma56]

Hi,

I have a scenario where I have a lookup column in form1 which contains ID of another list in drop down.

What I am trying to do here is whenever a user selects an ID from drop down, on click , he should be able to see that ID already filled form form2. 

(Form2 will be filled first and then form1 will be filled)

E.g- ID1- if the user has selected in drop down, he should be able to see ID1 instance in form form2

Please help with any suggestions.

Hello @bondsharma56 ,
On the dropdown of the first screen, add this to the 
OnSelect

Set(VarID, Dropdown.Selected.Value)

Then on form2, on the control where you want to have the ID preloaded, change the default property to
Default property

VarID

Hi @Silvester ,

 As both the forms form1 and form2 are different apps so I think global variable will not work in this scenario.

Correct me please if I am wrong.

You are right, a G. variable would not work. Do this rather,
On the form1, do a lookup to using the ID from the dropdown to bring the record

Set(VarID, Dropdown1.Selected.Value);Set(VarRecord,LookUp(List2,ID=VarID))

On the Form1, go to item and set it to VarRecord (assuming you have the same fields on both forms), this will preload all the attributes inside the form for you
