Is this what you are trying to do because your original description above was trying to populate a field in a multi-page form with the value of another field from a previous page. I would need clarification on what you are trying to do as those are 2 different things. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-a-form-field#post-20876 Sat, 19 Mar 2011 23:49:50 +0000 Gavin 20876@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, why didnt get back to me? Anyways, what are the parameters need in this method:<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_field_value_service_city&quot;, &quot;populate_service_city&quot;); function populate_service_city(){ global $post; $service_city = get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, company_description, true); return $service_city; }</code></pre> <p>what are the parameters in add_filter()? is it <code>add_filter(&quot;form name&quot;, &quot;function name&quot;)</code>?<br /> get_post_meta()? what is ID, what is company description and what is the boolean true in it?<br /> thank you very much. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-a-form-field#post-20768 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:03:13 +0000 sonshine 20768@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm look for a solution to this too. I have two forms created because I don't want form 1 to be too long and my user won't move the the next step. Form 1 captures their information for a referral program and sends notifications and form 2 is optional for them to enter up to 7 more names of friends they want to refer. My problem is that if form 2 is filled in with any information I don't have the name of the person who was entered in form 1.</p> <p>Sounds like v1.5 will solve this problem becuase a multi-page form is what I really need.</p> <p>Thanks for any help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-a-form-field#post-20767 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 11:58:03 +0000 Gavin 20767@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Alright, Actually it is a single form, but I used page break on it, so I guess it uses multi-page form. Page 1 has the First Name, Last Name, number, etc. then the second has other information then I need to display the First Name, Last Name, number, etc. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-a-form-field#post-20762 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 11:47:36 +0000 Carl Hancock 20762@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Before I provide a solution for this, what are you using 2 forms for vs. 1? </p> <p>Also would a multi-page form solve your issue or would you still need to use 2 different forms? </p> <p>I ask because Gravity Forms v1.5 will have multi-page forms. But if it is necessary to use 2 forms and pass data from one to the other I can provide instructions on how to do this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-a-form-field#post-20750 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 11:21:41 +0000 Gavin 20750@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, ok here is the situation. I have a form and I need to get the First Name, Last Name, etc on the next form. I want to populate the 2nd form from the value of the First Name and Last Name. Can you please tell me the steps to do it? I want the parameters to be send as $POST. Thanks! </p>
