Then you have to use PHP you place in your themes function.php file to pre-populate it.</p> <p>See some of these threads:</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-title-automaticly-into-form#post-4217" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-title-automaticly-into-form#post-4217</a></p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/hidden-field-use-tip-and-a-question" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/hidden-field-use-tip-and-a-question</a></p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populating-hidden-form-field-problems#post-1256" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populating-hidden-form-field-problems#post-1256</a></p> <p>You can also search the forums for "prepopulate" and "pre-populate" to find more threads on this subject. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/display-custom-field-already-set-in-post-in-notification-email#post-5488 Mon, 17 May 2010 02:14:44 +0000 go4 5488@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I'm setting up some forms for a client and would like to include a custom field value in the notification email they receive.</p> <p>The custom field is set by post author when the post is created and NOT through data submitted in the form. I can't get the value of the field to appear in the notification email though. I've tried adding a hidden and/or an admin-viewable only field to the form and then inserting the value in the notification email with no luck.</p> <p>Am I missing something obvious?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
