Having the categories linked in the entries page and for front end display was more difficult, but I was able to figure it out. Check out the following code and hopefully it will help others:</p> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/rbepWh1G" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/rbepWh1G</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-wp_list_categories#post-58671 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:49:11 +0000 JayFec 58671@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Info sent, thanks David. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-wp_list_categories#post-58659 Fri, 11 May 2012 08:53:37 +0000 David Peralty 58659@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you send me the details at <a href="mailto:peralty@rocketgenius.com">peralty@rocketgenius.com</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-wp_list_categories#post-58658 Fri, 11 May 2012 08:44:21 +0000 JayFec 58658@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Its me again :). Form is now on a live server and lo and behold, the entries are now being saved, however the permalink's are being stripped from it. Any suggestions? I have a log in created if someone would like to look.</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-wp_list_categories#post-58408 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:53:25 +0000 JayFec 58408@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi David, </p> <p>It is currently on a testing environment, but I will be glad to set it up live if you can take the time to look at it. If you can provide me an email, I will send you a link with log in details as soon as I get it set up.</p> <p>Thanks in advance </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-wp_list_categories#post-58406 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:50:00 +0000 David Smith 58406@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi JayFec,</p> <p>I've re-read this thread and I'm still not 100% sure what you are trying to accomplish. To address your last question, if you are using a drop down field you should not have to repopulate the custom field values on the pre-submission filter; that only applies to checkboxes.</p> <p>Do you have a live example where we could preview your form and hopefully get a better idea of the end goal? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-wp_list_categories#post-58317 Wed, 09 May 2012 10:09:20 +0000 JayFec 58317@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Im still at it. I still cant get the field to save in the entries once it is submitted. This is what I have so far in addition to the code above.<br /> <pre><code>add_action(&quot;gform_pre_submission_4&quot;, &quot;pre_submission_handler&quot;); function pre_submission_handler($form){ $category = get_categories(); foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) $_POST[&quot;input_10&quot;] = &#39;&lt;a href=&quot;&#39;.$category-&gt;cat_ID .&#39;&quot;&gt;&#39;.$category[0]-&gt;cat_name.&#39;&lt;/a&gt;&#39;; }</code></pre> <p>Here is a similar question.<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamically-populated-checkboxes-not-saved" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamically-populated-checkboxes-not-saved</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-wp_list_categories#post-57614 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:14:03 +0000 JayFec 57614@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Any suggestions on why the entry submission for that particular field is not being saved to the entries or where I should start looking? Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-drop-down-with-wp_list_categories#post-57452 Wed, 02 May 2012 13:40:33 +0000 JayFec 57452@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not creating a post for each entry. Its a spread sheet that displays on the front end and is updated by the user. Plus I want to automatically link the category that is selected to their designated category page, So when the results are displayed on the front end, the category is a link to its category page :). Thanks for looking at it </p>
