Hi There,

I'd like to display a dynamic barcode that uses the results of one or more fields. 

 

eg. "https://barcode.tec-it.com/barcode.ashx?data=[[Title]]" alt="Barcode"

I can create a new [[column]] that contains the following text <img src="https://barcode.tec-it.com/barcode.ashx?data=123456" alt="Barcode"> where 123456 is the title, and put that placeholder [[column]] into a rich text field, but I wonder is there a solution that doesn't involve creating a new column?

  Hi Andrew Kirby,

  yes, you can use placeholders and other expressions in rich text controls directly. For your case simply add a rich text control to your form and then add an image with your url including the [[Title]] placeholder -> https://barcode.tec-it.com/barcode.ashx?data=[[Title]]

  

  

  Kind regards

  Matthias
