A PostURL, then OpenURL sequence and using the Post Method (ie XML-laden Map Variables) to pass data to a Zoho form

Hi,

Canvassing views on this...

I would like to be able to carry out a PostURL-OpenURL sequence...so that I can pre-populate some of the fields in the new page being opened (i.e. a Creator form) with the posted data.




I get the impression this is not possible, and that people to date have being adding a record to a form using PostURL (and the post method) and then retrieving it later (via some unique key which is generated on the fly) to prepopulate the form fields.

In essence I am trying to emulate a typical PHP sequence where you might use Post method to pass data to another PHP form (to prepopulate fields, or other reasons) and then immediately open that form to which you pass the data.

Hope that makes sense.

In terms of what Zoho does...I get the impression, that you can pass data to a Creator form using post method, and in this way, add a record to the form (ie. equivalent to hitting the submit button), BUT, you can't use OpenURL to open the form in real-time to interact with the form as part of this process to decide to manually click on submit.

Love to hear other thoughts/views...

Again, thanks Zoho support for recent feedback on this.

Regards,

Liam.
