Maybe pre-population is not what I need then, or have to work without. Can I change the value of an image field though before submission? If $entry[5] would hold the value of an image field, could I populate that with a hook/filter like gform_pre_submission or gform_post_data? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populate-image-fied#post-48547 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:30:18 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 48547@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The image field is a standard HTML file upload ( type="file" ) field and can't be pre-populated. It's designed that way primarily for security reasons.. it's not a Gravity Forms limitation, but just how the input works.</p> <p>For example, someone could pre-populate the field with the path to a common file on your computer that might contain sensitive information.. they could hide the field from view and when you submit the form you unknowingly upload that file with your grandma's super secret double chunk chocolate chip cookie recipe or whatever it might be. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populate-image-fied#post-48535 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:44:23 +0000 sascha 48535@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there,<br /> is it possible to pre-populate an image field? It does not seem to have that option. Is there maybe a workaround? </p>
