Query Strings with Multi-Select Contacts

Is it possible to put multiple contacts into Query String?

As you can see, with a multi select you can do ?[name of column]=[value 1]&[name of same column]=[value 2]

I.E. ?M=1&M=2

This behavior does not work when I try it on multi-select contacts. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this a bug? is there different syntax for contacts?


Thanks for your help!

  • Hi @ArielDB

    Contact fields do have different functionality to a text multi-select dropdown. I don't know of a way to populate a contact field with multiple contacts using a query string.

    I would recommend setting the contacts as Defaults in your form builder instead of using the query string, if possible (see: Edit or remove fields in a form)
