It would be much more portable (and easier) to allow for the HTML field to be sort of a template... possibly using things like </p> <p><code>{ $field }.</code> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populating-html-fields#post-31602 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 15:11:20 +0000 Chris Hajer 31602@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Please see:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/html-block-does-not-have-populate-dynamically-option#post-31421" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/html-block-does-not-have-populate-dynamically-option#post-31421</a></p> <p>The ability to populate HTML fields is not present, but you can use the <strong>gform_pre_render</strong> hook to populate the area. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populating-html-fields#post-31598 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 15:02:00 +0000 Wheaton College 31598@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am not sure this is possible, but wanted to ask.</p> <p>I am dynamically populating fields based on GET parameters. This works fine.</p> <p>however, I would like to use these dynamic values in an HTML field. For example, if the GET is</p> <p><a href="http://somesite.com/?date=2011-8-3" rel="nofollow">http://somesite.com/?date=2011-8-3</a></p> <p>I would like to 1) populate a hidden field and 2) use that date value in an HTML field for display only. I can do 1) but not 2).</p> <p>I could probably use jQuery to copy the data from the hidden field and put it into the HTML on the page, but this seems like a kludge.</p> <p>any ideas? or... maybe in the future? </p>
