The way it is set up right now is that I use JQuery to add another row to the form, and have the user be able to add as many rows as they wish. A customer might ship 2 items, or they might ship 12 pallets of items. There is no upper limit.</p> <p>I'd like to convert this form to GForms if possible, but it doesn't seem to save the data I populate it with (using JS). I thought of some hackish ways I can mange this using a single form element, but wanted to check out if there was a much easier way.</p> <p>My idea is to create a hidden text field that stores the entire "Shipping item data" in one serialized dump. Assuming I can access injected form elements (say from JavaScript or in HTML blocks) from one of the hooks provided during or before the form is saved. I could also just store all of the data in a separate table(s) for easier access - finer control over the data.</p> <p>The client eventually wants to tie this information into users, so clients can log in and view previous entries, and might want to eventually create more complex reports that a stored serialized array would complicate, so maybe storing it separately is best? </p>
