The next step is to add the code to create the pre-populated drop down inside the ih_gform_field_input() function. That function should return the string containing the &lt;select&gt; input populated with all years you want to be displayed. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-new-custom-field-type#post-27401 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 09:08:58 +0000 jorgep 27401@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here's the code for what I'm trying to do... <a href="https://gist.github.com/1016695" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/1016695</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-new-custom-field-type#post-27400 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 09:06:09 +0000 jorgep 27400@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've been playing with the hooks all night, but I still can't find a way to create a custom field the way I want.</p> <p>Technical question:<br /> I'm using gform_add_field_buttons to add a new button, which has onclick = "StartAddField('vehicleyear')". When I click on the new button, it adds the field but I can't edit it. Is there a way to create a pre-propulated select field?</p> <p>Background:<br /> I'm setting up a insurance quote form for my client, and they want the vehicle year and model to be pulled form somewhere else. I also want to make it extremely easy for them to customize the form.</p> <p>My plan was to create a new button group called "Insurance Fields" and add the two buttons there for year and model. When they click on the button, it'd create a select type with everything pre-populated so they don't have to touch anything else.</p> <p>So far I've got the new button groups setup but I'm having problems creating the fields.</p> <p>Do you have an example/demo that explain how to use the hooks to get the result that I'm looking for?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
