I got mixed results early on... two worked, one didn't. Over the next tests, I figured out what was causing my problem. If I select my form page from the Chrome Navbar history dropdown, and then typed in the query string (?NA=Test) without then reloading the page, the dynamic population doesn't work. If I reload the page with the query string all is good. </p> <p>So bottom line is that for the end user the form will work fine. For my testing purposes, I'll just need to reload the page once I enter the query string.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Bruce </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-dynamically-not-working#post-169169 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:47:37 +0000 Chris Hajer 169169@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Don't repost, or even bump the topic, since that will reset the 'age' on the topic, and it looks like it's been posted just 3 hours ago, rather than 4 days ago. It only hurts you.</p> <p>Developer license holders do get priority support which tends to be quicker, but it's still dependent on the number of support requests.</p> <p>I have never seen that issue on OSX before. Populating the query string is not normally OS or browser dependent.</p> <p>I tested this as you explained above, and the hidden field input_33 was indeed populated with the value I assigned to the query string NA. I did not submit the form. But is this working for you now? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-dynamically-not-working#post-169090 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:34:31 +0000 Bruce_Alfred 169090@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Two things:<br /> 1) For future reference -- If I haven't heard back after 48 hours (I posted on Friday and it is now the end of work day on Tues), do I need to repost, or do I need to upgrade to Developer to get Priority Support?</p> <p>2) With regard to my question above: After much struggle, I think I figured out the cause of the odd behavior. The dynamic population did not work in Chrome after submitting the form once prior. It took a restart of my computer, a successful dynamic population on the first submission, and unsuccessful dynamic population on subsequent submissions to come to this conclusion. I have had successful submissions / dynamic populations in Firefox.<br /> Anyone else seen this odd behavior in Chrome version 25 for Mac? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-dynamically-not-working#post-164723 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:58:56 +0000 Bruce_Alfred 164723@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a hidden field that I want populated dynamically so that it shows up on the entries page. I'm using the Query String Method shown in GF documentation.<br /> My Field Name is "Company Name"<br /> My Parameter Name is "NA"<br /> I've setup the form on this page: <a href="http://whub34.webhostinghub.com/~videoh6/brucetesting.com/performance-survey/" rel="nofollow">http://whub34.webhostinghub.com/~videoh6/brucetesting.com/performance-survey/</a><br /> When I append ?NA=Test as shown:<br /> <a href="http://whub34.webhostinghub.com/~videoh6/brucetesting.com/performance-survey/?NA=Test" rel="nofollow">http://whub34.webhostinghub.com/~videoh6/brucetesting.com/performance-survey/?NA=Test</a><br /> I expect "Test" to show up under "Company Name" in my Entries page and that a notification be sent when that field = "Test".<br /> Neither of the above are happening. So, something is awry with my attempts to populate a hidden field dynamically. Please help!<br /> Thanks,<br /> Bruce </p>
