HI All, Could use some guidance. Needing to solve the following situation: There will be an external app, that will send a Document ID of some sort to my Mendix App. Which will then search our underlying database for the correct information, using that Document ID (Looking for a URL). The Mendix App will then redirect the user to a that corresponding external website (website is not in Mendix app). At first glance, this would sound like a REST API call. But we are needing the Mendix app to take on all functionality once the External app hits the Mendix layer. Also, Ideally we would not want the user to see the Mendix App at all (Kicking off Mendix App via a microflow being called as the default upon app startup). Any ideas on how to best retrieve the Doc ID from the External App? Ideally the external app would redirect to my Mendix App, with the Doc ID in the URL as a parameter

Sending and receiving MTOM attachments in REST
Hello everyone, I would like to send an attachment from Mendix application as an MTOM document to another system using the REST service call and also want to receive the attachment back as an MTOM document from another system to the Mendix app. After doing some reason, I understand that it's possible to achieve it using a WebService call. Wondering if this can be done with REST call. Thanks in advance, Pranay

How to correctly design domain models?
Hello Forum, I am relatively new to Mendix, and I am coming over from a world of programming with Java and JavaScript. But, with the brief time I have spent on Mendix, I realize that the full benefits of this no code/low code development hinges a lot on how the domain model is designed. Correctly designed domain models can simply make the development and maintenance experience joyful with Mendix or can turn it into a not so joyful experience! Can you direct me to some resources (trainings, blogs, articles, case studies, etc) that would help me learn how to create domain models correctly in Mendix, I would be very grateful. I apologize if this question has been asked before here. Thanks in advance. Regards, Sunil George.

Can't preview or publish after update mendix studio "build an app" class
After chapter 5 in the “build an app with mendix studio” learning path I couldn’t preview or publish the app anymore. Chapter 6 is to publish the app (SLA dashboard). Before the update (8.7.0?) I could preview the app and everything worked fine, no errors. After the update I couldn’t preview or publish anymore. I now have 8 checks/errors. And when I want to click publish it says to update the app.. The error codes are: CE6083 and CE6085 – and if I click on the errors it says “The selected document type can only be edited using Mendix Studio Pro.” Does anyone know how to solve this?

Capturing user input and storing on entity that is connected over association
Hello, I am trying to capture user input on few of the fields, these fields are attributes (string) of another entity that is connected with main entity via 1-* relationship so I can pick up the attribute as a data source in my input text box but when I run this locally, this input field is disabled from making any changes hence I cannot capture the input. Mind you, the input text box I have connected to an attribute that is part of the the same main entity works fine. Here is an example: - I have one main entity (I call it main since it is the most important one) called “Request” with attributes like “Title”, “Description” and these text boxes are editable - I have two other entities “RequestOffice” and “IssueOffice” with attributes like “RequestOfficeID”, “RequestOfficeName”, “IssueOfficeID”, “IssueOfficeName” , etc. - Both of the RequestOffice and IssueOffice are connected to Request via 1-* association The users need to provide input via a form so I have built a form inside a DataView gird. The DataView grid has “Request” as the data source and when I create text box and select RequestOfficeID, RequestOfficeName, IssueOfficeID, which are available over association, and when I test this, it browser doesn’t allow me to provide input.

Canary Deployment
I have a single code base for a Mendix application. However, I want to deploy this application in Europe so that each country receives its own instance of this Mendix application. Is this possible? Has anybody done something like this? With such deployment I can choose a country to test new features; once the features are accepted by the public, I can push the code to the rest of Europe.

How to Associate Separate Form Pages for an Application
I am working on a project where we have 8 different sections of an online application, each “part” of which is collected as a separate forms page. I have associations setup (some are one to one, others one-to-many) but I am confused as to how this associations will relate each part of the application back to the user. As it sits, I have eight buttons where the user clicks in to a forms page, with it’s own model. If it were a single models for all 8 parts, I don’t think it would be as issue, but it seems that if I have a button create one object for section 1, then another for section, 2 and so on, there will be no association between the forms. I guess I’m expecting to see something along the lines of “Create Child Object for Parent Object”, so that there is some context for the association, but so far I have not been able to find something similar to this. Any assistance would be appreciated.
