Luckily there is a hook, which can be implemented as I show below:<br /> <pre><code><?php add_filter('gform_editor_js_set_default_values', 'add_custom_default_values'); function add_custom_default_values () { ?> case "multi_input_field" : field.inputs = [ new Input( field.id + 0.1, '<?php echo esc_js(__("First", "gravityforms")); ?>'); new Input( field.id + 0.2, '<?php echo esc_js(__("Second", "gravityforms")); ?>'); new Input( field.id + 0.3, '<?php echo esc_js(__("Third", "gravityforms")); ?>'); ] break <?php } ?></code></pre> plymouthstate on "Custom fields not posting properly" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-fields-not-posting-properly#post-45615 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:32:09 +0000 plymouthstate 45615@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have built a few custom fields that have multiple inputs (First, Middle, Last, Maiden Names). It is displaying properly, and as far as I can tell the naming convention looks right...however when the form is submitted the values in the fields are not being posted. I noticed that in the $form that I got from the gform_post_submission hook, that the input for the fields was empty, while the stock form[fields][inputs] pieces all had arrays listing the different input pieces within the field. What do I need to do so that the input will properly update with the fields I want in it?</p> <p>See below for the current html of how my custom field is being put into the page.<br /> Thanks in advance for any help!</p> <p>Edit: Additional Info:<br /> To put my custom field into the interface I use gform_add_field_buttons to put it in, gform_field_type_title to give it a title and gform_field_input to modify what it looks like. For the gform_field_input function all I do is create the HTML, based on the current form id and the id of the field to build the id's and names of all the html tags.</p> <pre><code><div class="ginput_complex ginput_container" id="input_3_3_3"> <span id="input_3_3_3_container"> <input type="text" name="input_3.3" id="input_3_3_3" value="test"> <label for="input_3_3_3"> First </label> </span> <span id="input_3_3_6_container"> <input type="text" name="input_3.6" id="input_3_3_6" value=""> <label for="input_3_3_6"> MI </label> </span> <span id="input_3_3_9_container"> <input type="text" name="input_3.9" id="input_3_3_9"> <label for="input_3_3_9"> Last </label> </span> <span id="input_3_3_12_container"> <input type="text" name="input_3.12" id="input_3_3_12"> <label for="input_3_3_12"> Maiden </label> </span> </div></code></pre>
