Is there a use case that someone would select a contact and not want to see any relationships that ind has? Even if I wanted to add a new one, I'd still want to see the existing one. Then click X and enter the new one. Is it hard to have it re-render the form after you select a name? Would behavior would the average user expect? | |

| Sep 24, 2015 at 16:21 | comment | added | Paul-Tahoe | So if I read this correctly, webforms can really only be used for new data or if you send a link to the person for them to update their info directly. If an admin type wishes to view and possibly update an individual and its household, they can't use webforms (well unless they know the cid). I hope I'm missing something. | |
| Sep 24, 2015 at 2:39 | comment | added | Coleman | It's true, prefilling a value depends on other values already being there. If the individual is not selected at the time the webform loads, then there's no way for it to populate the household. So you are correct, selecting a different contact 1 on the form will not cause contact 2 to be changed. | |

| Sep 23, 2015 at 23:01 | comment | added | Paul-Tahoe | Very true. I had tried that first and it didn't work any better. Then I thought I'd try with a completely new webform and the other direction in case that worked better. I just tried again with contact1 ind and contact2 hh and it still only pulls up the hh if I give the cid. | |
