Possibility to scan a virtual column (QR code)

[Julien]

Hi community,

I need the ability to scan a virtual column with a QR code scanner.

In my example, the virtual columns is reading the key column of grand parent table.

I wish I don't have to create a real column for that.

Thanks

Hi @Julien 

What about using QuickChart.io for this?

https://quickchart.io/documentation/qr-codes/

the expression would be:

"https://quickchart.io/qr?text="&[yourVirtualColumn]

Thanks @Aurelien I quida found a similar formula 

"https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=200x200&cht=qr&chl="
& ENCODEURL([LubePointTask ID])

But my goal is to have a VC that is searchable with the QR code scan of the device. Is there a workaround to achieve this?

Thanks

oh, I think I misunderstood your question. Unless using a QR-code parser, I think there is no way to prevent from writing any data when scanning.
