SID-01228: Searching a topic with a attached form.

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:		Perl version:
Category:	CategoryForms	Server OS:		Last update:	14 years ago

So basically I’ve attached a form to a multiple topics, and i want to be able to fill the attached form in with the use of drop down menus rather than having to type in the text.

So far the only thing I haven’t managed to get to work at the moment is the search...drop down options are fine. If I replace %TOPIC% with the actual topic name then it gives me the correct result, however this is not practical due to the fact I have multiple topics with different topic names...

%SEARCH{"%TOPIC%" scope="topic" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified" reverse="on" format="<b>[[$topic][Issue <nop>$formfield(Issue)]], </b>"}%

I only want to search each individual topic it is attached to, so it does not display all the results from every topic as a dropdown option...
