You are calling it before you load any version of jQuery which the script itself needs to be able run. Maybe try right before the closing &lt;/head&gt; tag. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-hidden-fields-to-populate-with-gform_pre_submission#post-235766 Fri, 03 May 2013 18:58:19 +0000 iSupportU 235766@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I currently have this:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;script type=&#39;text/javascript&#39;&gt; jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ) { $(&#39;#input_1_4&#39;).change(function() { $(&#39;#input_1_7&#39;).val($(this).val()); }); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>Set up targeting <a href="https://www.cipherpoint.com/contact-us/" rel="nofollow">this</a> form for testing, hoping it would be more obvious than testing with the form with hidden fields.</p> <p>Let me know if there's anything I can try adjusting.

I also tried with two non-hidden fields on a different form, but no luck. No errors in the console. </p> <p>Any ideas to help narrow the issue down a bit? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-hidden-fields-to-populate-with-gform_pre_submission#post-233859 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:51:40 +0000 Steve Napierski 233859@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I created a form with the same fields and got the following script to do what you needed:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type=&#39;text/javascript&#39;&gt; jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ) { $(&#39;#input_2_11&#39;).change(function() { $(&#39;#input_2_12&#39;).val($(this).val()); }); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>The value will change once your cursor is no longer focused/inside of the input_2_11.</p> <p>Hope this accomplishes what you needed. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-hidden-fields-to-populate-with-gform_pre_submission#post-233767 Thu, 02 May 2013 12:17:40 +0000 iSupportU 233767@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't think that works either.

My main goal is to concatenate two fields into one, so we can send a single field of content to another Add-on to send to Salesforce. I'm stumped why this isn't working with one field. The hidden field has the box checked for "Allow field to be populated dynamically."</p> <p>Any suggestions? </p>
