Hello all,
Im back with another problem that could not be resolved so far with FF ai agent and support.
I am building this Q/A style form where users can ask questions using form A, and other may reply by form B which is inside the view A. Also view B is nested inside view A as well.
There is a field for entry id in form A which I intend to use as a filter to match the correct reply to the relevant question. And there is reply id field in form B which is set as:
[frm-field-value field_id=452 entry=emb_entry]here 452 is the entry id in form A.
entry=emb_entry did not work. And I also tried
[frm-field-value field_id=452] and
[frm-field-value field_id=452 entry="[get param="pass_entry"]"]
but these two retrieve the last entry id, not the relevant entry. I also tried some other methods like retrieving by url etc. but they all failed.
I was expecting a straightforward solution, but whatever I was suggested or tried based on documentation failed so far.Any suggestion is appreciated.
thanks,
Ali

You’re very close. The issue is not really about retrieving the value — it’s about context. In nested Views, context determines which entry ID is available at render time, and that’s where most implementations break down.Right now, your shortcode attempts are resolving to the “last entry” because they’re executing outside the correct parent entry context.I'd have to write an article to explain the dynamics. I'll get one on the Developers Corner later.
