Searching for a record using URL scheme or script

[David Gold]

I don’t know JavaScript. I was wondering if there was a way on iOS to search a given form for a record (search either a given field or all fields – doesn’t matter) and then have tap forms open in that record? I was wondering if this is possibly via url scheme directly or if not by creating a script and then executing the script via url scheme. If the latter can someone help me with the JavaScript?

I’ve had a go at some Javascript but can’t get it to work. Basically I want it to take a search term off the clipboard, do a search and get the record ID for the found item and then copy that to the clipboard. It isn’t working so could someone tell me what I have done wrong?

var myForm = document.getFormNamed(‘Scopus RE’);
var records = myForm.getRecords();
var search_term = Utils.copyTextFromClipboard();
var result_count = 0;
var results = [];
var selected;

function search_records( haystack , needle ) {

var name_id = ‘fld-90984efc3585456ab56763adff0a5228’;
var rec;

for (const rec of haystack) {
if ( rec.getFieldValue( name_id ).toLowerCase().includes( needle.toLowerCase() ) ) {
results.push( { name: rec.getFieldValue( name )
} );
result_count++;
}

}

if( result_count == 0 ){
console.log( ‘No results found!’ );
}else if( result_count > 1 ){
multiple_results();
}else{
copy_record.getId( results[0] );
}

}
