Then you just need to pull from the database the number of selections which were made for each choice and display those conditionally as well. The fields will be present in the form builder and populated before the form is loaded and any field is shown, using the gform_pre_render filter.</p> <p>Does that help at all? Do you need help getting the data out of the database as well? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/output-number-of-submissions-of-a-selection-to-form#post-128799 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:40:15 +0000 Digital Pure 128799@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a unique need, and I am pretty sure it is simple and I am over thinking this. Here is what I need.</p> <p>1. Have a form that is conditional<br /> 2. Live output of the number of submissions of selected item from drop down</p> <p>What I mean is this. User fills out a form to contact my client. The form has a drop down with lets say 5 options (more or less as needed). The user chooses option 2. I need the form to conditionally show ONLY the needed details for options two (I can do this now with Gravity Forms) and I need it to show a output of the number of submissions for this option. The user would see this. </p> <p>I am pretty sure that it is possible, as I can use the "auto-populate" field option in a GF form, but I am not sure of the DB query that I would use. </p> <p>So, what I was thinking I could do is add a hidden field and call it #2submissions. What I need to know is if I can do a DB call to query and report back to the user in real time the number of times this type of request has been made. </p>
