You'll have to see about creating some sort of intermediary to convert those short codes back into real values before prepopulating form fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-help-with-form-prepopulation-via-shortcode#post-61975 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:45:13 +0000 foodin65 61975@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm using the new plugin ElegantPURL (<a href="http://elegantpurl.com/" rel="nofollow">http://elegantpurl.com/</a>) to create a landing page of a campaign I'm using. </p> <p>I would really like to pre populate the form with data from the PURL. </p> <p>ElegantPURL makes data available on the page via shortcode. For instance, if I wanted the first name to appear on the page i'd simply put: [epurl-firstname]. </p> <p>My question is simple, how would I get my gravity form to pre-populate with the data from the shortcodes from ElegantPURL ( [epurl-fistname], [epurl-lastname], [epurl-email], etc.)?</p> <p>I've tried just dropping the shortcode into the prepopulate this field option on the form, this didn't work. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
