I have:</p> <p>1'|1|$21.95<br /> 2'|2|$43.90</p> <p>This goes up to 21' feet.</p> <p>I have two other drop downs that need to calculate based on their first selection.</p> <p>Support Brackets<br /> Joining Couplers</p> <p>I thought I could use a Product calculation and just multiply. When I use {merg tag name:1} it shows the price. When I use {merge tag name:1:value} it still shows the price and not the value number. So I can't take the length value and divide by 2 and then times it by $8.50.</p> <p>What I would like to do is pre-populate the second and third drop downs with the corresponding length.</p> <p>Support bracket pricing is based on 1 bracket for every 2 feet in length.<br /> 1'|1|$8.50<br /> 2'|2|$8.50<br /> 3|3|$16.50<br /> 4|4|$16.50<br /> etc.</p> <p>Couplers are based on 1 coupler for every 7 feet in length.</p> <p>1'|1|$16.50<br /> 2'|2|$16.50<br /> ...<br /> 8|8|$33.00<br /> 9|9|$33.00<br /> etc.</p> <p>So if they select 8' feet in drop down 1 I want 8' to be selected automatically in the second two product drop downs.</p> <p>How do I accomplish this? I have spend many hours trying to find informative docs on how to use merge tags and pre-populate fields. It seems everything is based on pre-popping from page meta info or passing values from one page to another, etc. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/merge-tags-from-dropdown#post-167744 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:53:59 +0000 David Peralty 167744@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No problem.
