Reading values passed in URL to application

[Connor_St_Louis]

Ended up not working unfortunately -

url

keyfields

keyfields setup

on window load:

LCI_InitFields - onload event

Initialization inside row-update

Epicor version:

Hosting = PublicCloud

I am also testing this in our pilot environment - not sure if this could be a cause?

Are you pasting the URL into a new window? Just typing the params in at the top and hitting enter doesn’t always trigger it. The surest way is to open a new tab and paste the whole thing there.

Just did a quick test in my 2025.1 and it worked fine.

[Connor_St_Louis]

Yes - pasting into a new window. I noticed that my page does not even re-load if I changed the URL and hit enter so I have been testing with a new window throughout the process.

Could this be because I am using a ‘dashboard’ application? Will test in a new ‘Apps’ type application

I wonder if your Init event is just overwriting it.

Remove that–you shouldn’t need it for a KeyField, but be sure to check the Key Field checkbox on your control.

Possibly.
It’s not working in my dashboard either. Stand by.

Not sure what was different… but tried it again from the start and it worked

The only thing I changed was the initialization:

OLD not working:

WOOP WOOP

KeyFields is the same:

Gremlins.

Actually discovered our Live isn’t in 2025.1.4
Live is currently 2024.1.12, pilot is 2025.1.4 - behaviour seemed different between the two. might do some testing later and update this forum

[Connor_St_Louis]

Sad to say that our live environment updated to epi 2025 and this has broken

ot working unfortunately -

I’ve set up a event on a control onInit then used the following javascript to query the URL, then consume that field:

“#((() => { const q = window.location.hash.split(‘?’)[1]; return q ? new URLSearchParams(q).get(‘KeyFields.MyField’) || ‘’ : ‘’; })())#”
