I want to take populated field data from a drop down list on Form 1 and populate it to the Form 2. I tried to do what was explained above. But I don't understand exactly what I should fill into the parameter name on Form 1 and if I need to modify anything in the insert form field on Form 2. </p> <p>For example, this is what Form 2 gives me {Feature Description:3}</p> <p>1. What does the number 2 mean? Do I change that?<br /> 2. Do I need to add anything to this, such as Feature_Description={Feature Description:3} ?<br /> 3. How do I determine the name=VALUE?<br /> 4. What do I enter in Form 1? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-from-a-previous-form#post-11554 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 22:23:00 +0000 rhoyt 11554@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I had a need for something similar.

This paramater name is used in the query string to pass data to it (ex. name=VALUE the name is the parameter name).</p> <p>Then you would edit form 1 and edit the form settings and set the form confirmation to use a URL redirect. Type in the URL to the page containing form 2 and then use the available UI to build a query string that passes data from form 1 to the page containing form 2 using the query string builder. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populating-from-a-previous-form#post-11104 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:24:30 +0000 Nick Hempsey 11104@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am wondering if it would be possible to do a string of 2 forms with the second populated from the first. </p> <p>Here's what I'm trying to do:</p> <p>We're building a credit application...<br /> I will have a landing page with a very basic form with Name, Email and Phone Number, when they click submit It would take them to the next page to fill out the rest of the application. I would like the first form to populate the Name, Email and Phone of the second form, which will have address, ssn, and a few other tid bits. Not exactly sure how to pull this off. </p> <p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated. </p>
