Hey ya'll,

 

I've been playing around with deployment parameters in Flow and Form but I have been wondering if it's possible to use an existing deployment parameter in Form, without a database connection that has the same credentials?

 

So for example accesing database X through deployment parameters without having database X defined in your local database connections. I've tried to but to no avail.

You can override the Flow deployment parameter value by double-clicking on the deployment parameter in Form and giving it a local value. You can then specify a local database connection, regardless of the name or connection parameters.

@david_r Yes but I can't do the opposite, which is to disable a local value. Because when I do, the connection stops working in Form. This might be by design but it would be handy to allow coworkers acces to certain connections via deployment parameters without adding the connections locally.

 

Hope this is possible.

As far as I know, it’s not possible to use a database connection stored on Flow when running the workspace on Form. You need to have a corresponding database connection on Form when running the workspace. I’m guessing this is partially for security reasons.

@david_r That's too bad but thank you for your time.
