Another alternative for me is to use functions to grab a value from a specific field in the database to place in a post in order to achieve what I want. Is that at all possible and if so, is there any code that you know of to achieve this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-a-field-dynmically-from-another-field#post-6027 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:45:42 +0000 Carl Hancock 6027@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is possible, but it takes knowledge of PHP to do so using available API hooks to do so. If you aren't comfortable with PHP and using WordPress API hooks you may want to consider hiring someone to do the customization for you. There are a few people on these forums that do custom work like this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-a-field-dynmically-from-another-field#post-6015 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:09:47 +0000 flameboyuk 6015@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Does anyone have any ideas on this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-a-field-dynmically-from-another-field#post-4981 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 23:36:20 +0000 flameboyuk 4981@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there. I'm new to this so please have patience ;-)<br /> Basically, I would like for a post field (which is only visible to the admin) to be dynamically populated from another standard or advanced field so that the data can be used for a post. One example of this is if the post title is automatically populated with the users name. Is this possible?</p> <p>Much appreciated for any help you could give me on this. </p>
