Change record ID used by entityform in Liquid Webtemplate (Dyn365 Portals)

In Dynamics CRM I have a “meeting” entity and a “meeting invite” entity linked to the Contact entity.

I have a Portal Web Page setup with an EntityList that shows a listing of all the Meeting Invites based on the current logged in user.

I have configured a portal webpage with a corresponding entity form that when the portal user clicks on a “Meeting Invite” record in the entity list, it will open a page where they can view the meeting invite details. (webpage has a corresponding EntityForm record set based on Meeting Invite CRM form)

The page to view the invite details is based on the following Liquid WebTemplate:

{% if page.adx_copy %}

{% include 'page_copy' %}

{% endif %}

{% entityform id:page.adx_entityform.id %}

</div>

The Meeting Invite EntityForm will load no problem.

However, I actually want to configure the portal so that when the end user clicks on their “Meeting Invite” record on the EntityList, it will instead show a page with the “Meeting Info”.

If I swap out the Entityform lookup on the webpage to an Entityform configured to show the “Meeting” record instead, my code will display a “can’t find a record” because it is trying to display the EntityForm using the Meeting Invite GUID (from the request.params.id). This is expected behaviour.

I know you can’t change the GUID passed from the entity list, it can only send the GUID of the records in the entitylist as a parameter.

Is there a way to override the *record id* that the EntityForm uses in a Liquid web template?

Here is my code so far:

{% assign meetingattendance = entities['new_meetingattendance'][request.params.id] %}

{% assign meetingid = meetingattendance.new_meeting.id %}

{%comment}

Need to have entityform use "meetingid" and not the id passed to the web page from the entity list...

{%endcomment}

{% if page.adx_copy %}

{% include 'page_copy' %}

{% endif %}

{% entityform id:page.adx_entityform.id %}
