Edit without currentrecid

[Iainmck]

Hi

I have a situation where I want to set a field in a record to that of a value held in a cookie. I would normally do this using edit & currentrecid however as the value held in the cookie has been obtained through a series of steps using separate databases currentrecid is no longer Pertinent. I do however have an additional cookie, which holds a value unique to the record I wish to update. Is it possible to use this rather than currentrecid?

You may have to do a "-find" first with the unique value, then "-edit" with a returned "CurrentRecID".

You can automate this with a little bit of Javascript.

All the best.

Hi, lain! I've always thought CurrentRecID was required for an -edit. Please post if you find out otherwise. I'm not sure if you could use an inline action for your solution, but inlines can work for separate db's. --ST
