Possible to use a link to submit a chage to a field?
I have a certain field with an "Open" and "Closed" radio option.

Is there any way to use a url link to modify that field for that entry? For example:

"Click here to Close this entry."

Seems like in order to change field in a database entry, you need to submit all of the fields in order to change anything. So that means you have to click on Modify and load up the entire thing just to change the one field from Open to Close. Frown

Or is there a way ? Smile

It can be done, but it would take some thinking about. You'd probably need to write a subroutine similar to "modify_record."

I had to make it that way so you would be able to clear fields (otherwise the program would just think you are not changing that field).

You could create a new subroutine that looks a lot like modify_record, but only replaces the changed field, not the entire thing.

Hope that helps,
