Can I populate a global variable with a form name and submit the global variable?

[ACPBSCi]

I have an app with 3 different input forms that require different information depending on the program type. Right now, my app submits the form, then goes to a new screen to list people who need licenses. Those individuals get added to a separate list. I want to include them in the email that goes to the admin with the information from the form. I can wait until after the users are entered on the license screen to submit my form, but I have 3 different forms and don't know which form to submit. I don't want to submit all 3 and create blank records. When a user selects a program type, can I save the form name to a variable and then include the variable name in the submit action on my license screen? If not, is there a way to have the submit command only submit a form that has data entered into it?

Hi @ACPBSCi ,

Your requirement is not very clear. However, there are 2 things that I can suggest.

1. If you are using 3 different forms that submits to a single data source, then instead of using SubmitForm() using Patch() function.

2. If you are using different data sources and want to get data on the last submitted form, then use Form.LastSubmit() function.

Thank you, @pawanjajoo. I'll give that a try and let you know how it works.

The simplest solution is usually the right one. I added a pause to my workflow to allow the user enough time to enter the users and experts before the email is sent. Ultimately, we are going to build a connector so we can automatically add the users and experts to our software (and eliminate the need for the email). We are building it out in phases and since this isn't the final phase, it didn't make sense to build an intricate solution that ultimately will be replaced.
