What I would do is dump the $entry array with <strong>print_r($entry);</strong> and see there the values show up in your form submission. Then, it will be a matter of determining which one is set, and updating the usermeta as shown in the example code. There are only a couple more lines you will need to add to the example. If you get stuck, share a print_r of the entry (post it at pastebin.com or pastie.org because it will be huge.) You should submit the form with each of the three types of inputs being used, so you know exactly how each will show up in your entry. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-conditional-user-meta#post-81750 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:11:00 +0000 donaker 81750@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That sounds promising Chris.

Do not map the field in the user registration feed. Then, in the code which runs attached to gform_user_registered, you can test for which selection was made in your form, and store the correct value. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-conditional-user-meta#post-81398 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 09:02:08 +0000 donaker 81398@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The client only wants one key in the user profile.</p> <p>Would there be some way to write a pre-submission hook which checks which conditional field has been populated and pass that?</p> <p>Or maybe pass the results of the conditional fields into a new hidden field and use that to populate the meta key? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-conditional-user-meta#post-81271 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 21:01:04 +0000 Chris Hajer 81271@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It may not be possible to do that. Can you map state to one key, province to another and region to another, then test in the profile which one is populated, and display that? I don't think you can combine conditional logic and mapping the usermeta like that.</p> <p>You could instead update the usermeta after form submission using the gform_user_registered filter.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_user_registered" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_user_registered</a></p> <p>The example shows updating the usermeta. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-conditional-user-meta#post-81088 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:19:36 +0000 donaker 81088@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>you've described the problem, exactly.
