But, when I try the Date Field option it no longer works.<br /> Here is the code I used:</p> <pre><code>[php] add_filter(&quot;gform_pre_submission_1&quot;, &quot;populate_date&quot;); function populate_date($form){ $_POST[&#39;input_11&#39;] = $_POST[&#39;input_12&#39;]; }</code></pre> <p>Date Picker just makes one input field, but Date Field nests 3 inputs like 12_1, 12_2, 12_3</p> <p>Is there away to just make it say '$_POST['input_11'] = $_POST['input_12_1', 'input_12_2', 'input_12_3'];' ?<br /> I would like to use the Date Picker in the first place, but there seems to be a javascript conflict on my site that breaks the pop-out calander :/ So, I've been trying to get the Date Field to work for a while with no luck. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-populate-a-hidden-field-with-een-other-field#post-169951 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 11:47:23 +0000 moltogelato 169951@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks!

You can use jQuery to accomplish this. It's not a feature of Gravity Forms. Here is one explanation of how to do it: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/q/10884730" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/q/10884730</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-populate-a-hidden-field-with-een-other-field#post-166843 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 15:53:28 +0000 moltogelato 166843@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><a href="http://suzukiwashington.org/membership/" rel="nofollow">http://suzukiwashington.org/membership/</a></p> <p>I would like the Billing City and State fields to dynamically populate the Studio City and State fields.

You can try this simple example and see if it works, but if not, you would need to take a look at the $_POST and see what parameters are there to know the exact format of the field you want to read. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-populate-a-hidden-field-with-een-other-field#post-81976 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 06:41:47 +0000 lwrkrol 81976@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I used the first one, works great. So everytime I want to store an input field in a hidden field I can use this code ? What should I use for other fields like dropdown fields etc, is there some kind of reference ?</p> <p>Thanks for your fast help </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-populate-a-hidden-field-with-een-other-field#post-81974 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 06:30:16 +0000 Chris Hajer 81974@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Try this:</p> <pre><code>[php] $_POST[&#39;input_14&#39;] = rgpost(&#39;input_1&#39;);</code></pre> <p>That will take the value from input_1 and store it in your hidden field input_14. rgpost is a little safer than using $_POST directly when reading the value. It would work the same in most cases to just do this:<br /> <pre><code>[php] $_POST[&#39;input_14&#39;] = $_POST[&#39;input_1&#39;];</code></pre> <p>(Note the change from parentheses to brackets.)</p> <p>If this does not work, please post a link to your form so we can take a look. </p>
