Retrieving current entity record ID and other attribute info using Liquid in Portals

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi guys,

I need to display information on the breadcrumb by concatinating three text fields data retrieved from the current custom entity record. 

Is there a way I can retrieve that information on a next step of a Web Form using LIQUID and not the JavaScript?

The query string doesn't contain the id of the record hence entities.customEntity[request.params.id] is out of the question.

I have the same question (0)

    Please refer to below for reference.

    Hi Steve

    I had already gone through those references before I posted my question. The entities.custom_Entity_Name[id], requires the GUID parameter. My question was how do we get the ID of the current record that was created on the Insert step of the previous step in a Web Form.

    Then I think the Liquid may not achieve that.

    Hi there,

    Unfortunately this does not appear to be achieveable via Liquid (major oversight if you ask me).

    You can however achieve this using JavaScript, which isn't ideal. The below should work and return the current records GUID on a Web Form Step.

    $('#EntityFormView_EntityID').val();

    This comes a bit late, but hopefully it helps someone else that comes accross this.
