Hi,

Thanks for that link - I have my capture form working perfectly, except for assigneduserid - the video shows how to do that and I followed precisley bit the user id is not store but blank.
THe video is quite old and I am wondering if the api overrides the assigneduserid now?
Regards
Tony

Can you please tell me what method you use to send API requests? PHP client, Python client or web browser method? Maybe you do everything exactly as in the video?

Heuu, the link is not a video 😳

I think the assigned is better in back-end with formula like sugest doc,

« You can also utilize formula (Administration > Entity Manager > Lead > Formula) to set some additional fields »

I think that in this case it means this video from Devcrm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe2V...channel=Devcrm.

Yes Lazovic you are correct. In the video they send an assignedUserId as a field and show how to retrieve the id. I am using a php script, also similar to the Devcrm script.
Thanks

Ok My issue is resolved. After careful re-examination of the Devcrm video - I finally noticed my error of having lowercase id in assignedUserID. Now working fine. My other error that faile validation that I could not work out is I had a multi select field - multi eNum - that stores data as {"New"], I could not find the right way to create the value= in the form (hidden field). I solved it but removing the field and recreate a single eNum field and all is good.

Thanks to all who commented, and I am happy to help anyone who may also be struggling with this issue
