Open published form in iframe using recLinkID criteria

Open published form in iframe using recLinkID criteria

Hi clever people,

I am trying to open a form using the recLinkID from another form which is embedded in an iframe and published (not requiring a user to be logged in). I have managed to get the form to open from a previous embedded form using:

  1. myURL = "https://creator.zohopublic.com/<username>/<appname>/form-perma/typesfrm/<encryptioncode>/recLinkID=" + thisID + "&viewLinkName=typesfrm_Report";
  2. openUrl(myURL, "iframe", "formEmbed");

...but the update button in the form does not work to update the data and carry out a subsequent openURL action. Instead, it just says "please wait" and nothing happens.

I think the URL string must be wrong somehow, but I can't find any help related to opening a published, embedded form for updating data with the recLinkID specified.

Other potential causes are that I have not published every subform contained in the form being updated, and that I want it all publicly (no login) accessible. I don't know enough about Zoho restrictions to know why it isn't working as I expect.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Regards,
Will
