I have multiple forms, so I don't want to have to add in ID's.</p> <p>I was hoping something as simple as this would work:<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_field_value_param_name&#39;, &#39;custom_function&#39;); function custom_function($value){ $desc = $form[&#39;description&#39;]; return $desc; }</code></pre> <p>But, it does not. Any thoughts on how to do this. I am going to be pulling entries to the front end of the site and listing what form they have submitted. so this information is necessary.</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
