Thanks very much for the update.

Feels cleaner to set the correct radio button before the form renders, and the js that I put in place would sometimes have a slight delay before setting the radio button correctly (though the fact that I noticed it was probably more due to the slow server I am building this project on). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/explicitly-set-default-radio-choice-using-hook#post-142059 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 00:49:50 +0000 Chris Hajer 142059@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You're welcome. I learned something in the process too. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/explicitly-set-default-radio-choice-using-hook#post-141753 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:44:17 +0000 mobiah 141753@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks! I may prefer your solution over the javascript I am currently using. I'll most likely test it out this afternoon. At a minimum, your example gives me better insight into how to work with the Field Object, so that is great. Thanks again! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/explicitly-set-default-radio-choice-using-hook#post-138958 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:51:13 +0000 Chris Hajer 138958@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I tried a couple things with this and made this code work:<br /> <a href="http://pastebin.com/PUvFxxTd" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/PUvFxxTd</a></p> <p>I looped through each radio button choice. I don't know if that matters or not. I discovered if I had a selection made in the form builder and I was trying to set an earlier option as selected, the later one would always render as selected. So I clear out all the other isSelected choices.</p> <p>I tested for the value of the radio button choice before making it selected. Not sure if that will work in your situation.</p> <p>I also used "true" instead of "1", but I'm not sure if that mattered.</p> <p>This code worked for me. Let me know if anything in there helps you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/explicitly-set-default-radio-choice-using-hook#post-138838 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:30:08 +0000 mobiah 138838@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I ended up using a bit of javascript to make this happen. If there is a way of doing it through a hook when the form loads, I'd still be interested in knowing it. Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/explicitly-set-default-radio-choice-using-hook#post-137734 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:47:23 +0000 mobiah 137734@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Might be right in front of my face, but I haven't found a way to get this working. I'd like to dynamically set the default radio button selection using a hook like gform_pre_render. I've be trying things along the lines of the attached code. </p> <p>Essentially, I could use help understanding how to force the form to have a choice (doesn't matter which) selected upon page load. If I can get there, I believe I can take it the rest of the way myself. Any help is much appreciated!</p> <pre><code>add_filter( &quot;gform_pre_render_3&quot;, &quot;set_default_dynamically&quot; ); function set_default_dynamically($form) { foreach( $form[&quot;fields&quot;] as $field ){ if( $field[&quot;id&quot;] == 4 ){ $field[&quot;choices&quot;][0][&quot;isSelected&quot;] = 1; } } return $form; }</code></pre>
