But like anything with PHP and an application that has API hooks (Gravity Forms) it is certainly possible.</p> <p>You can pre-populate fields dynamically so you would have to have a hardcoded non-Gravity Forms form (no need to store the data) that asks them for their unique ID. Then use GET to submit that form data to your Gravity Forms page which would pass that id in the query string.</p> <p>Then using some custom PHP you could get that unique id, look up the data for it and populate the fields dynamically.</p> <p>It's certainly doable but is going to take knowledge of PHP, MySQL and Gravity Forms API hooks to pull off.</p> <p>If you need help doing this we do know developers with a lot of Gravity Forms experience that could provide this for you as a service. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-a-form-field-with-a-previous-form-field#post-7969 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:07:54 +0000 davesundays 7969@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Guys,</p> <p>First of all loving gravity forms.</p> <p>My question is pretty much along the same line.</p> <p>The first form would be a quote form where customers enter their quote info, name address, email etc. They would be given a unique ID ( have added this part to the quote form already )</p> <p>Then at a later stage they would be given a link to the order confirmation form where they would enter their unique ID and have name, address, email etc fields already populated from the quote form and then check their address details, enter a shipping address, agree to terms and conditions.</p> <p>is that at all possible? </p> <p>sorry for the tough first question.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> David. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-a-form-field-with-a-previous-form-field#post-7963 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 22:41:34 +0000 Carl Hancock 7963@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There isn't any way to help you with this other than pointing you to examples and code snippets without having access to your WordPress admin to see how you have the forms setup.</p> <p>If you want to send us a WordPress admin login for this site we'd be glad to take a look and see what you have going on so we help you get it working properly.</p> <p>You can send us a login via our Contact Us form here on the support site and reference this forum thread. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-a-form-field-with-a-previous-form-field#post-7957 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:42:17 +0000 kc0eks 7957@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>For some reason I just can not make this work.
