I'm trying to populate multiple fields using a scanned QR code. A forum from 2017 suggests using the substring function, however I encounter two issues: 1. The substring function only appears to work on data I've already collected, whereas I was hoping for newly scanned data to have several fields populated automatically as well. 2. Ideally the attributes would not all be the same length. Ex. Scanning a QR code on a street sign. The asset has attributes for QR_CODE, ID, TYPE, SHAPE. String passed via QR Code #1 = "123, Yield, Triangle" String passed via QR Code #2 = "4567, No Parking, Rectangle" When the QR Code is scanned it would populate the QR_CODE field with an abovementioned string, which would be used to populate the rest of the attributes. If using substrings is the only option I could ensure all attributes are the same length (ie. QR #1 becomes "0000123, YLD, TRI" and QR #2 becomes "0004567, NOP, REC") but, again, when running a calculated field it only applied the calculation on existing row items. When a new asset was scanned in the field the ID, TYPE, SHAPE fields were left blank, despite the QR_CODE field being populated with the correct string. Is this doable in the current Collector environment?
