Get the query string value in Kentico 12SP Form text input field.

kumar GANJI asked on November 18, 2021 14:28

Hi, I am using Kentico forms to create a form. I need to use the value of the query string in one of the text input in the form which will be hidden and When user submits the form, the value of the hidden field should also be submitted with the form.

Currently I am not able to bind the value of query string in my form field. I have tried to put the value of the query string in the default value parameter of the form field by using the macro expressions like {% Request.QueryString["QueryStringParamName"]|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}. Both of these macro expressions are not working for me.

You need to use the small black arrow next to the default value field to enter a macro expression. Then, you can use one of these two macros:

{%QueryString["parameterName"]%} or,
{%ParameterName%}

Make sure you will sanitize the input and use e.g. some default value too.

Hi @JurajOndrus I tried the above mentioned way but it is giving the default value all the time.
{% QueryString.GetValue("parameterName","Default")%}
my URL format is /home&ParameterName=(value)

Try this -

{%ParameterName%} for parameter

{% QueryString %} for get Query string

Kumar, try using the syntax from my first post. No need to add GetValue method.
