I totally understand the procedure, and I can tell that I need to change $post-&gt;post_title to something else, however what I need to change it to is a complete mystery to me. If you have an understanding of what I'll need to code here, could you share that with me? Anything would be a huge help.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populating-a-dropdown-with-data-from-another-gf-form#post-67549 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:14:42 +0000 Chris Hajer 67549@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>ultramel, you are going to need to change line 14 in this code:<br /> <a href="http://pastie.org/2105544" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/2105544</a></p> <p>That is what gets the posts to populate the drop down. You're populating the drop down with user-submitted data, from another form. It sounds like you need to get a couple pieces of information (Group Name, Group City, Group Country) from all entries from form 2 (the group registration form), then concatenate those with your punctuation and words to make it read like English <strong>[Group Name] in [Group's City], {Group's Country]</strong>, then populate the drop down in form 3 (the individual practitioner form.)</p> <p>The majority of the work will replace line 14 in that code example. Line 20 will change also because you won't be using WordPress post-specific "$post-&gt;post_title".</p> <p>So that's the procedure. What else do you need help with? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populating-a-dropdown-with-data-from-another-gf-form#post-67548 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:58:51 +0000 Chris Hajer 67548@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sorry, I missed that.

For this project, I have groups registering on one form, and individuals affiliated with a group registering on a second form. I'd like the individuals to be able to indicate the studio that they are a part of by selecting their group's name from a dropdown menu.</p> <p>Because we anticipate a lot of groups to register, many of which may have the same name, we'd like to add additional identifying information to the dropdown, like this:</p> <p>[Group Name] in [Group's City], {Group's Country]</p> <p>I looked at <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_Drop_Down_Fields" rel="nofollow">Dynamically Populating Drop Down Fields</a>, but I think I need some extra help for displaying the form data instead of blog posts. </p> <p>Here is a link to the <a href="http://global-seva.org/join/studios" rel="nofollow">Group registration page</a> where the group (studio) name, city, and country fields are located. And here is a link to the <a href="http://global-seva.org/join/individual-registration" rel="nofollow">individual registration page</a> where I'd like to display the dynamically populated drop-down field for "Studio Name: Select your studio". </p>
