You should not be using the shortcode method here. Here is the documentation: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population</a> Remove that from the shortcode on form 3, and see if it works. If you have set up form 3 to have those fields populated dynamically, and in form 2 you are using a confirmation redirect with the same parameter names, it should work. Please post a link to your form if not and we will see if we can help. Thank you. nscruggs on "Dynamically populate gravity form from one to another in same session" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-gravity-form-from-one-to-another-in-same-session#post-45993 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:50:52 +0000 nscruggs 45993@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I'm trying to pass the name and email address from GF form 2 to GF form 3 using shortcodes and am not able to get it working. In form 2, I selected redirect and entered the url (even though it's just another WP page). I checked the Pass Field Data box and using the example below the comment box (Sample: phone={Phone:1}&email{Email:2}) I entered firstname={Name (First):1.3}&lastname={Name (Last):1.6}&email={Email:2} On GF 3 I added the name field and checked populate dynamically. Under the Field Parameter Names I entered [gravityforms id=2 field_values='firstname'] I tried different combinations of with and without the apostrophe. When I update the form the parameters I entered would be missing the closing apostrophe and/or bracket.

The value is what you want to populate the field with. The parameter name is the parameter name you assigned to that field when you configured it to be populated dynamically in the form editor. Please refer to the How To section of the Documentation. There are examples on how to dynamically populate fields that explain the process. <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/How_To" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/How_To</a> Meissner Nordic on "Dynamically populate gravity form from one to another in same session" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-gravity-form-from-one-to-another-in-same-session#post-41426 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 12:54:27 +0000 Meissner Nordic 41426@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Is there any way to give specific examples for the <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Allow_field_to_be_populated_dynamically?" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Allow_field_to_be_populated_dynamically?</a> Such as a form with form names, and exactlyl what you would put in? I don't understand parametername vs. value. Do I need to specify a value? Isn't that's what is being passed? Or do I just leave "value"?

You will need to pass the values from form 1 to form 2. That means for form 1 (sidebar form) you need to use a redirect as the confirmation, and then build a query string, to send the values along. Then, in form 2, you need to check the box "allow field to be populated dynamically" and enter the parameter names you used in your query string. That's really all there is to it. That will pre-populate fields in form 2 with values that were entered in form 1. If you get stuck, let us know.
