I would like to place a form on each RV page that a visitor could request more info on. Would it be possible to have the name of the "Post", which will be the name and style of the RV for rent, to auto-populate a field in the form located on the page, so when submitted, my client knows exactly which one they are referring to? I noticed the post at <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/automatically-populate-a-dropdown-with-post-titles" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/automatically-populate-a-dropdown-with-post-titles</a> which is a little similar except that I don't need it as a drop-down.</p> <p>Thank you for your help.</p> <p>Thank you. </p>
