What version of Gravity Forms are you using? Also, could you export both your forms (source and target), and send them to me (alex@rocketgenius.com) ? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-pre-populate-a-2nd-form-by-submitting-the-1st-form#post-15234 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 17:52:48 +0000 Hedonfire1 15234@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>i took a look around and I found a form which transfers info from one form to a second form and has dollar signs in it. </p> <p>I noticed that the numbers used in the url to transfer the populated field to the second form are different than what gavity forms is using. </p> <p>Example First Form:<br /> <a href="http://www.creditcardprocessing-online.us/" rel="nofollow">http://www.creditcardprocessing-online.us/</a></p> <p>Example the second form:<br /> <a href="http://www.1nbcard.com/aff/application.php?currently_accept=&amp;dest=7&amp;average_charge=%241+-+%2420&amp;camp=pr_online&amp;monthly_volume=&amp;aff_id=na&amp;need_equip=&amp;lang=en&amp;business_type=E-Commerce&amp;Submit.x=37&amp;Submit.y=19" rel="nofollow">http://www.1nbcard.com/aff/application.php?currently_accept=&amp;dest=7&amp;average_charge=%241+-+%2420&amp;camp=pr_online&amp;monthly_volume=&amp;aff_id=na&amp;need_equip=&amp;lang=en&amp;business_type=E-Commerce&amp;Submit.x=37&amp;Submit.y=19</a></p> <p>%241+-+%2420 is used to transfer $1 - $20 from the first form to the second form</p> <p>With Gravity Forms the same $1 - $20 is represented as 1%20-%2020 in the transfering URL</p> <p>Hope this helps pin point the problem. </p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-pre-populate-a-2nd-form-by-submitting-the-1st-form#post-15226 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 17:18:43 +0000 Hedonfire1 15226@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>thank you for the quick response </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-pre-populate-a-2nd-form-by-submitting-the-1st-form#post-15224 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 17:09:33 +0000 Carl Hancock 15224@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll have to replicate this and see what is going on. Dollar signs may not be allowed in the query string, browsers may not handle it properly. I'll take a look, we may have to make changes to Gravity Forms to be sure these are encoded properly when passing them in the querystring. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-pre-populate-a-2nd-form-by-submitting-the-1st-form#post-15219 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 16:55:34 +0000 Hedonfire1 15219@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello, </p> <p>Thank you for those posts. They were very informative. </p> <p>I have a question still. </p> <p>I followed all of the steps in the second post and was successful in getting most of the fields to the second form. All except the fields that contained $ dollar signs. </p> <p>I have two drop down boxes in my form which ask the user to pick from a few different choices with $'s.</p> <p>When i complete the form all of the fields except those with the dollar sings are dynamically populated. </p> <p>I tested it by removing the dollar signs from the drop down options and the the form correctly passed the information. </p> <p>Is there a way to use dollar signs in the forms and pass the info correctly to the second form?</p> <p>Thank you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-pre-populate-a-2nd-form-by-submitting-the-1st-form#post-15214 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 16:07:29 +0000 Carl Hancock 15214@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here are 2 forum posts that describe how to do this.

I would like to have the user select the info from the drop down boxes and when they submit the form they are redirected to the real form where the info they submitted in the previous form is already filled in but they must complete the rest of the form.</p> <p>Also I don't want the 1st form to try and submit the2nd form resulting in warnings or errors because they have not yet completed required fields in the 2nd form. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
