Am I missing something or is the "Lookup Only" option not completely implemented yet.
I think I get the basic idea of how it is suppose to work. I set-up a lookup and then below it I can insert data from that lookup using the "Get Their Value From : Lookup #x" field choices. What I'm missing is how I map "looked up" value to the SFDC field I want to insert the record into.
For example, I have a SFDC ID for a contact in my form and I want to insert the contacts Email, First and Last names into another custom object. I use the Contact ID to "Just look up a record" and then below I map the First Name field of the custom object to "Lookup #1". Shouldn't I have to select a field from "Lookup #1"?
Is there any documentation about using this feature, I didn't see it explained in the blog entry.
The lookup function works much like the lookup function in the first Salesforce connector, which means that the value stored in the lookup is the Salesforce id for the looked up record. In the example you've given, I believe that one would normally have the second object ( let's call it an Credit_Submitted object ) have a field that would expect the contact's id. So the mapping would be something like this:
1. Just look up Contact by 'Last Name' 2. Create Credit_Submitted object Credit Contact ( expects a Contact ID ): a lookup result: lookup #1.
Not really as I have the ID and I want other information. I should be able to feed the ID into the Credit_Submitted object (peaking at my form or was that one lucky guess?) and set-up a trigger to populate the rest of the fields.
