DCR data type

Is there a way to get the actual reference to a DCR specified in Forms Publisher by a component? It doesn't appear to be in [Propertie] (at least not mine).

My DCR field definition is:

[PHP]

[/PHP]

What I receive is:
[PHP]

John Smith
John's title would be here
+1 312-555-1234
Full bio for John Smith would appear here

[/PHP]

What I would like to get back is all the above PLUS: contact/buscard/john_smith

Why? We have a component to display the "business card" which has a link to a full bio page. I want to build the full bio page link as /full_bio?dcr=contact/buscard/john_smith
The full bio page/component will parse it from there.

From what you are posting, does not look like it.

A fairly easy fix would be to have the DCR name in the DCR (formapi into a hidden field)

You should also be able to make an LSCS query for that.

I dont think there is a standard way to capture DCR name in components.
But you can use FormAPI to get the Saved DCR name (probably onSaveDone Event) and DCR Category. Keep this information in a hidden field in the DCR itself and access it in your component like a normal field.
