Thanks, will try this. Would it make sense to add that ability to call gform_field_values with an ID? Like some of your other hooks/filters? gform_field_values_1, gform_field_values_2 or gform_field_values for all? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_field_value-for-specific-form#post-46055 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:49:50 +0000 Chris Hajer 46055@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>In general, I think you might have to combine two filters or hooks to make this happen. You will need to put this filter, to populate the name, inside a function that checks for the form ID, since the form ID is not used in gform_field_values.</p> <p>You might do something like this (untested):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php add_filter(&quot;gform_pre_render&quot;, &quot;populate_name&quot;); function populate_name($form){ // for form 5 if($form[&quot;id&quot;] == 5) { add_filter(&quot;gform_field_value_first_name&quot;, &quot;read_name&quot;); function read_name($value) { // read your username here into the $username variable return $username; } // end read_name // for form 1 if($form[&quot;id&quot;] == 1) { add_filter(&quot;gform_field_value_first_name&quot;, &quot;read_name&quot;); function read_name($value) { // read your username here into the $username variable return $username; } // end read_name } // end gform_field_value_first_name return $form; } // end gform_pre_render</code></pre> <p>That would be a high level overview of how to do it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_field_value-for-specific-form#post-46017 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:43:11 +0000 sascha 46017@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Let's say I have form 1 that uses "first_name" and form 2 that uses "first_name" as the parameter name.

But you need to share more information with us. Give us an example of how you expect this to work, and we will help you with the code. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_field_value-for-specific-form#post-45987 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:11:16 +0000 sascha 45987@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>Can the gform_field_value be made/used, so that it is (or can be) form specific?</p> <p>Let's say I have more than one form that uses the same parameter name i.e "my_parameter". As far as I understand that filter at the moment will populate the "my_parameter" on all forms with the same values. What if I want to use the same parameter name, but have on different forms different values pre-populated? Is that possible? </p>
