Data Transfer between two forms in Orbeon


How to transfer data between two forms in orbeon ?

say for example I have form X with input control (say Name), Now i Want to get the value entered in another form Y. Is there any way to do the same.


Solution

  • The thing is that the user might have filled out multiple "instances" of form X, where she provided her name. If she did, and entered different name, which one would you pick? We have a blog post that shows how to show all the possible values in a dropdown.

    But your requirement might be different. Also that post is written assuming your data is stored in eXist; this is the default, but you might of course instead be using a relational database. I hope the post will help, but if not, feel free to post another question, with your specific requirements.
