Get Current GlobalID

[DavidSolari]

I'm trying to create a Survey123 form that includes a link to create a new entry in another form using the current GlobalID as the parent key. Is there a way to get the current global ID within the XLSForm spec so I can build the appropriate link? It's fine if I get no GlobalID during the initial submission, I only want the link to appear for existing forms viewed through the inbox. No, I can't use repeats or anything like that to glue the forms together, I need to get the GlobalID straight up. Thanks!

There is a guide here for pulling ObjectID. But I don't recall seeing one for GlobalID. I'd start here though.

Next I'd try to see if URL parameters can dump GlobalID into a text field.

That actually works, if I ignore the error about having a field named "GlobalID" and make sure it binds to null then the proper value is still pulled down after opening the results. Thanks for digging that guide up for me!

Glad to hear that this workflow works for GlobalId as well! I will try and make a mental note of that.
