Here is the update snippet: <a href="http://pastie.org/1060312" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1060312</a></p> <p>The issue was a bad assumption on my part.</p> <p><code>$form[&#39;fields&#39;][&#39;0&#39;][&#39;content&#39;] = $content;</code></p> <p>This line assumes that the index of the field in the form object is the same as the field id. This is not a good assumption to make; specifically in cases where forms have been updated several times. I've replaced that line with this:</p> <pre><code>for($i = 0; $i &lt; count($form[&#39;fields&#39;]); $i++) { if($form[&#39;fields&#39;][$i][&#39;id&#39;] == 42) { $form[&#39;fields&#39;][$i][&#39;content&#39;] = $content; } }</code></pre> <p>What we are doing instead is looping through each field in the form object and checking if the field id of that field is the field id we are looking for (in this case "42"). If so, THEN we replace the old content with our updated content.</p> <p>I've implemented this on your server. Let me know if you run into any issues. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/automatically-populate-a-dropdown-with-post-titles#post-7784 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:11:20 +0000 JeanPaulH 7784@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sent :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/automatically-populate-a-dropdown-with-post-titles#post-7783 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:10:23 +0000 David Smith 7783@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you don't mind, could I get FTP access to this WP install?
