Programatically Add Form Values for Fields with PreValues
Hi,
I have a bunch of records I'm trying to import into contour. I found a handy blog post on adding records programatically, which I've used to do the basics of adding a record. I can add basic things like text fields and checkboxes etc, but I can't get adding data for fields with prevalues to work.
In my case, I have a checkbox list with four options. I can add multiple values to the field by adding a string with the name of the items I want to select in, e.g. "research". However, it doesn't add the key relationship to the pre-value to the saved data, so you can't edit the value.
This is driving me nuts, does anyone know how to do this? I don't really want to have to type in several hundred entries by hand if I can possibly avoid it!
Figured it out! You need to add the guid of the pre-value to the list of values, and repeat for as many items in the list as you'd like to select. Yay. Sleep now.
