Hi all,

 

i want to use a global Variable (USER_ID) in an external Link, that we open in the “Print Delivery Note for Customer Orders” Page.

 

I want to create a URL that transfers two variables. The first one is the DELIVERY_NO, which we can assign over the “edit Key Values” Function. 

 

But the User ID is not available in the Key Values Editor..

Is it possible to use a global Variable like “${USER_ID}”, because this does not work.

 

Thank you!

Rico Schwarz

Hi @rico.schwarz,

Have you tried the Context Substitution Variable #USER_ID#

Assuming you need to fetch the ID of the current Foundation1 user here.

Hope this helps!

Hi  @Charith Epitawatta 

I just testet it, but it doesn’t work. 

The URL also realized that it was a variable

Did you find a solution for using context substitution variables in external links?

@Jsham  Sadly not. We created a Custom Field on this page which selects the User ID and used this as parameter.
