Thanks Alex! It even works with array values! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field_values-not-set-when-posting-form#post-55479 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:25:02 +0000 Alex Cancado 55479@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I used your code snippet above on an email field and the $value variable had the right value after the form is submitted. After the form is submitted, the $value variable will have whatever was actually entered in the field, and not what was used to initially populate it.<br /> I am guessing in the dark, but I think the problem is your input does not have the right name attribute. (i.e name="input_FIELDID"). Take a look at the text field input and try making yours follow the same pattern. That should make Gravity Forms understand the value submitted by your input and the $value variable will then be populated with the value that was submitted. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field_values-not-set-when-posting-form#post-55328 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:39:27 +0000 exed 55328@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm creating a form like so:<br /> [gravityform id="2" name="foo" field_values="a=b"]</p> <p>I've got a custom field which catches the value of 'a' in this case (having set the proper options to catch the value of course):<br /> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_field_content&#39;, &#39;eo_add_field_schedule&#39;, 10, 5); function eo_add_field_schedule($content, $field, $value, $lead_id, $form_id) { if ($field[&#39;type&#39;] == &#39;schedule&#39;) { var_dump($value); } return $content; }</code></pre> <p>On page load, the dump correctly displays 'b' but when posting, the value remains empty. This issue pops up once the form has validation errors.</p> <p>Any idea's on this one? Thanks! </p>
