I'm passing an urlparam with the value of a post ID to a form. I want the form to use that ID to set the parent relationship.
I have verified the urlparam is being attached to the URL.

	<div class="form-group wtn-hidden">
		<label>hr-profiles_wtn-document</label>
		[cred_field field="@hr-profiles_wtn-document.parent" value="" urlparam="the-profile-id" class="form-control" output="bootstrap" select_text="--- not set ---"]
	</div>

This doesn't work. It leaves the hr-profiles_wtn-document.parent value empty.
I expected it to set the value to the urlparam "the-profile-id"

Hi Kent,

Try adding this as your value attribute.

[wpv-search-term param='the-profile-id']

This should get the value from the url.

Thanks,

Hmmm. It's still not working. I'll share more information in case this helps you spot the cause of my problem. I'm wondering if my URL Parameters are not being attached correctly.

My view for cg-hiring-checklist has this code to call the Form.

[wpv-no-items-found]
		<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="[wpv-taxonomy-description]">[wpv-attribute name="doc-tax"]</a> -<strong> No Documents Found.</strong> 
<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> item='@hr-profiles_cg-hiring-checklist.parent']">Add one Now</a>
[/wpv-no-items-found]

Here's an example of the URL which is generated from the code above.
hidden link

It looks to me like the parameters were added to the URL correctly.

In the form which is trying to grab those url paramaters I ran a simple test to see if it's finding the url parameters. I inserted the following code.

<p>the-profile-id = [wpv-search-term param='the-profile-id']</p>
<p>wpv-relationship-filter = [wpv-search-term param='wpv-relationship-filter']</p>

The resulting output is not displaying either url param. I'm not sure why.

Hi Kent,

You seem to be using the wrong value.

From your example you have urlparam="the-profile-id" as the profile url parameter but you are passing "the-hr-profile-id" in the url.

So you should change the-profile-id to the-hr-profile-id

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
