Hi, i have a dynamic page that connects to collection1, it have a control# and a title field, and other fields, it have a submit button that links to a form, this form connects to collection2, and i
want to use the control# and title from collection1, i tried using hidden fields and change values on submit onclick event, but don’t work, i been reading that i need to use setFieldValue

My collection field in collection1 is Control1, my form field is col1_control1
My collection field in collection2 is Control2, my form field is col2_control2

I want to copy the value of col1_control1 and save it in Control2, how i do that?
if i use:
$w(“#collection2”).setFieldValue(“Control2”, $w(col1_control1).value);
$w(“#collection2”).save;
it make another field in collection2 called [Control2] and set the value.

the example in documentation is:
$w(“#myDataset”).setFieldValue(“title”, “New Title”);
$w(“#myDataset”).save();

“title” is the collection field or the form field?

I’m really confused, hope somebody can help me.

Thanks in advance!

In the example, “title” is the field key in the collection.
