Linking Dynamic Pages?

I have several collections. All a related to the Current User… all all created with a reference field to Profile (current user details etc). However, while the reference field allowed me to selection the collection referenced, it did not allow me to choose the field. I assume under the hood, Wix is figuring out that based on some examples I have seen.

So my app is just a series of forms that allow the user to enter different types of info about themselves (thus is stored in different collections). So I would like them to fill out each form in turn. Basically all are dynamic forms… when the first form is completed (the User profile one) I try to go to the new form which is also dynamically created to lets say enter/view/or update their mortgage info. I wont even give me the option…

Collections
Profile
MortgageDetails

Dynamic Page
Profile Update (ID)
MortgageDetails Update (ID)

When the user hits SUBMIT button on the user profile page, I want it to take them the the MortgageDetails Upate(ID) page but if I try to send it via the link option on the submit form, and select link to page, it does not let me select it. It DOES let me select the Profile Update(id) page which makes no sense to do. WHY can’t it just open the MortgageDetails Update(ID) page using the current users id?

What am I doing wrong?

And if there is a better platform for my project let me know please! After I get all the data, I need to mathematically manipulate it and spit out a customized response.

Thanks in advance

oh and I tried using a non-dynamic page and tried passing the current user id to it, no go either.

Hey,
If I get your scenario correctly, I think the reason it’s not working for you is that the dataset you’re trying to bind the submit button link to is a dataset that’s connected to the ‘Profile’ collection.
Let’s try this:

  1. Add a new field to the Profile collection. set the field to type ‘Reference’, and point it to the Mortgage collection.
  2. Try adding a second dataset to your dynamic Profile Update page, and connect it to the Mortgage Details collection. Now, try to connect the submit button to this new dataset.

Let me know if this helps…
