I am trying to set $field_data when I call the form, but it is not getting set. I have tried calling the form two different ways...</p> <p>First by assigning array values to $field_values when I call the form.<br /> <code>gravity_form(1, false, true, $field_values = array( &quot;ebook-title&quot; =&gt; $ebooktitle, &quot;Phone&quot; =&gt; &quot;(907)555-1234&quot; ), &#39;&#39;, false)</code></p> <p>Second by assigning the array to a variable then using the variable to set $field_values.<br /> <pre><code>$tpd_field_values_set = array( &quot;ebook-title&quot; =&gt; $ebooktitle, &quot;Phone&quot; =&gt; &quot;(907)555-1234&quot; ); gravity_form(1, false, true, $field_values = $tpd_field_values_set, &#39;&#39;, false);</code></pre> <p>The form shows up on the page but none of the data is there. I selected "Allow field to be populated dynamically". The variable $ebooktitle is set.</p> <p>How do I use data from my post to populate on form when the post loads.</p> <p>Thanks for your help<br /> Trevor </p>
