I waited two weeks in here before going priority. Dana sent me: "To dynamically populate your drop down with users, you need to check the option on the Advanced tab called "Allow field to be populated dynamically" for your drop down field. You do not provide a parameter name. You will use the gform_pre_render filter in your functions.php file. I have created an example for you which uses the WordPress function "get_users()" to get users. :) Take a look at the example here: <a href="http://pastie.org/4751675" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/4751675</a> . The WordPress documentation for the get_users function can be found at <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users</a> - in case you want to add more filtering to the get_users function than what I used in the example. The documentation for the gform_pre_render function can be found at <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render</a> . I used the examples here as my basis for building the function for populating a drop down with user information." When you set up the drop down, you will be shown display_name, which wasn't quite what I wanted. I found that I could change that when I connected the form to user registration and set the shown name to last name/first name in there. Then I have my last and first name in the drop down :) Chris Hajer on "Populate drop down with existing users first and last name as one option" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-existing-users-first-and-last-name-as-one-option#post-76510 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 09:00:48 +0000 Chris Hajer 76510@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Yes, please post the solution here.

Dana send me some code example yesterday through priority support, which I will try when I get home. Sorry for the double posting. This one started a long time ago. Should I post the solution here if I get it to work?

You want one value for both in your drop down, and every selection will be a combination of the first and last name of each registered user? alsc on "Populate drop down with existing users first and last name as one option" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-existing-users-first-and-last-name-as-one-option#post-75821 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 07:42:38 +0000 alsc 75821@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I'm looking at: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_the_Post_Author" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_the_Post_Author</a> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population</a> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Allow_field_to_be_populated_dynamically" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Allow_field_to_be_populated_dynamically</a> and I still can't figure out how to populate a drop down with first name and last name of registered users in wordpress.

I am in a dance association and I am working on an online registration form. To balance classes (even number of men / women), I let members sign up one at a time - even though they want to dance together as a couple. The idea is that (for example) the man sign up first. Then I create a user for him. Then the woman should sign up and in one drop down (partner info) be able to see all created users (first and last name) and select her partner. How do I do that?
