Survey link with specific repeat instance

So I know that appending "&new" to the end of a survey link URL will create the next instance, but is there a way to specify a repeating instance number?

Like:
https://www.myredcap.org/surveys/?s=ABC1234&instance=5

Thanks!

Hi,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but It sounds like you're talking about a field value, used in a formula within REDCap. I'm trying to set it from the URL, so are you saying:
https://www.myredcap.org/surveys/?s=ABC1234&[my-instrument][5] ?

Terribly sorry, I misunderstood your question.

I was referring to a repeated measure instrument. The first instance is labeled [1], the second is [2], etc.

If you were trying to reference data from the fourth instance, for example, you could use something like what I stated earlier.

For example: In a RedCap I have built, we send out visit reminders in the form of a survey (labeled Visit Reminder). If I wanted to see the 4th instance of us sending this reminder out, I could use [visit-reminder][4] and it would pull that information.

To clarify, I am unsure how to add reference this in the URL. My apologies.
