I’m new to this although I’ve struggled with a simple problem for more hours than I care admit. I have successfully created a form that a logged in user enters data and that data is recorded in the database table. That table (parentData) has the fields of first name, last name etc.
What I’d like to do is to display that data on another page. Simple enough. But I can’t get it to work. I come from the traditional SQL world and this stuff is really driving me nuts (and it shouldn’t! it’s supposed to be easy).
On the second page I’ve created a group of User and within that a group that has content type of parentData. I have several text elements within the group of parentData where I’m trying to display first name, last name etc. I have successfully referenced parentData first name but no data appears on that second page when I test it out. I’ve read the documentation, searched the forums and swore a few times but to no avail. Any pointers would be appreciated.

You need The Display data in a repeating group video and also the send data to a group video.
Because what you need is to display records from the parentdata table showing first name last name etc so what you do is create a repeating group see below
Thank you so much for your reply. I have actually watched those videos and completed all the sample apps but my use case doesn’t involve repeating groups. I just want to display one data field. My use case is I have a parent fill out a form for enrollment in school. That data gets put into the database. I then pull that data out and pre-populate a form that I have set up to print out as a pdf. I only have one parent object I need to use, not multiple parents since there is a 1 to 1 relationship between the parent and the form that gets generated into a pdf.
I hope that makes sense. I guess it’s kind of like the invoices people were trying to create in forums. It should be easy to do.
It’s also worth noting that I can get User data to display, like email, creation date etc.
Perhaps you can try a group with txt fields that reference the data you need prefilled. Only issue i see is that you will need some identifier to search out the exact record which you need. You can use a dropdown to achieve this. The dropdown will be an input and also act as a constraint for all the information to be displayed for each record. But if you only have one record then you will not need the constraints or the dropdown.
I actually have a group with text fields that references the data I need and there are no issues (from the issue tracker) but the data doesn’t display. On my form that I want to print as a pdf, space is at a premium and I don’t want people to be able to edit anything on the page…just a simple html page with data plugged in from the database.
This would seem to me to be a common use case. Hopefully others may have some insight.
