You will have to use jQuery to populate the tags with the selections from your checkboxes.</p> <p>If you don't need to display the checkbox values in the tag area on the same page, but just need to add those tags, we can do that after the form is submitted by updating the tags. The user would not see it, but your post would be tagged with those checkbox values. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-input-dynamically-place-selected-checkboxes-into-an-input#post-85051 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 06:34:18 +0000 Remedy 85051@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a gravity form on my site that looks like this:</p> <p>Activities:<br /> [checkbox] Brand<br /> [checkbox] Retailer<br /> [checkbox] Other</p> <p>Tags:<br /> [Text input]</p> <p>I want to dynamically fill the text input with the selected activities, so for example when Brand is selected it places Brand into the text input.</p> <p>Is this possible with dynamic population?
