When I copy the record link and paste it into another app and click on it it opens tapforms main menu. It doesn’t open the record.
Should it?
Yes, it should open the record.
What platform are you doing this on? And what’s the other app?
Does it work if you paste in Safari?
Alternatively if you’re comfortable with the macOS Terminal app, open <tfurl> is another way of triggering the URL as well.
IPadOS 13.1.2 or the latest greatest
I tried
Agenda notes
Safari
Apple calendar
It opens tap forms to the main menu of my documents.
Works ok for me on iOS 13.1.2 on a iPhone via Safari and Shortcuts, I was playing with it today figuring something else out. I’ll check out an iPad a little later.
This might be a silly question, are you sure the form and record still exists on the document?
Yes. I try different ones
I haven’t been able to reproduce this on my iPad when I did a quick test copying the URL and then pasting into Safari, it returned me to the record reliably.
The only other thing I could think of is if you had multiple copies of the document with the same ID?
Not been much help on this one :S
Well if I leave tapforms with the document displayed it does not make it past the document.
If I open it up to the forms then the copied link will make it to the record. See images

When you tested this did you exit out of tapforms completely?
If I leave tapforms with the forms menu displayed it will open the form and go to the record.
But if tapforms is not yet open at all it only opens tf and displays the document menu.
If I kill Tap Forms entirely I can reproduce what you see. First request does just load the document screen and the second request triggers the document to open and displays the record.
This is hard to debug. If I run it in Xcode, the app is obviously running and it works perfect. When I kill the app and try accessing the URL, Tap Forms launches, but doesn’t open the document. The joys of programming :)
Ok, I figured out why it’s not working when the app is launched. It’s because the code that registers for the /record/view URL format doesn’t get registered until the database documents list screen is loaded. And the code that processes the incoming URLs happens before that. So when you launch Tap Forms, that /record/view route gets registered. Then when you call the URL, that route is already registered, so Tap Forms knows what to do. But when Tap Forms isn’t running yet, the route is not registered so Tap Forms doesn’t know how to handle that route.
I need to move the route registration earlier up the chain, to the application level and not the documents list level.
