There is a drop down called "Insert Merge Tag". Screenshot: <a href="http://minus.com/lAMc8psqJ7rUl" rel="nofollow">http://minus.com/lAMc8psqJ7rUl</a> </p> <p>That is where I got the merge tags for your form. You made things harder on yourself than you needed to. The functionality is all present in the form builder. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allow-field-to-be-populated-dynamically-question-1#post-78774 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 18:35:00 +0000 zx7md 78774@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>"I'm not sure where your merge tags came from, but they did not come from the drop down.

Your link looked like this:</p> <blockquote><p> <a href="http://example.com/page/?first_name=" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/page/?first_name=</a>{first_name}&amp;last_name={last_name}</p> </blockquote> <p>I'm not sure where your merge tags came from, but they did not come from the drop down. Maybe you typed them in manually?</p> <p>I changed it to this using the merge tags directly from the drop down:</p> <blockquote><p> <a href="http://example.com/page/?first_name=" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/page/?first_name=</a>{Name (First):1.3}&amp;last_name={Name (Last):1.6}</p> </blockquote> <p>Then I submitted from the preview, and the second form was populated with First and Last name. You should have two test submissions from me. There is nothing else for you to do; it should be working. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allow-field-to-be-populated-dynamically-question-1#post-78678 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 10:36:00 +0000 zx7md 78678@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ok! thank you Chris! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allow-field-to-be-populated-dynamically-question-1#post-78676 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 10:26:14 +0000 Chris Hajer 78676@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have your email and I will take a look at this today. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allow-field-to-be-populated-dynamically-question-1#post-78673 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 10:21:00 +0000 zx7md 78673@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris!<br /> I sent you an email, could you please let me know if you got it? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allow-field-to-be-populated-dynamically-question-1#post-78643 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 08:19:40 +0000 Chris Hajer 78643@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@zx7md, if you would like someone to log in and take a look at how this is configured, please send a WordPress administrator login to <a href="mailto:chris@rocketgenius.com">chris@rocketgenius.com</a> and I can take a look at it. It sounds like a configuration issue: maybe something simple is missing. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allow-field-to-be-populated-dynamically-question-1#post-78589 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 20:52:39 +0000 zx7md 78589@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I tried everything... The data is not passing thru another form.<br /> The link ..../?first_name={first_name:1}&amp;last_name={last_name:1} It just telling the field (Name and Last Name to be populated with {first_name:1} and {last_name:1} and nothing else.</p> <p>My Settings are:<br /> The Form ID 1 it has:<br /> Allow field to be populated dynamically(?) = (not selected) and the Confirmation Message (text) with a link to the Form 2 : <a href="http://www.website.com/form_name/?first_name=" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/form_name/?first_name=</a>{first_name:1}&amp;last_name={last_name:1} ( I think this format is wrong )</p> <p>The Form 2 has:<br /> Allow field to be populated dynamically(?)
