This example assumes you used "list" as the parameter name for that field.</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_field_value_list&quot;, &quot;populate_list&quot;); function populate_list($value){ return array(&quot;row 1 - col1&quot;,&quot;row 1 - col2&quot;, &quot;row 1 - col3&quot;, &quot;row 2 - col1&quot;, &quot;row 2 - col2&quot;, &quot;row 2 - col3&quot;, &quot;row 3 - col1&quot;, &quot;row 3 - col2&quot;, &quot;row 3 - col3&quot;); }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populate-list-field#post-40404 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 06:56:44 +0000 acsnaterse 40404@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Well, in this case I want to use it for a wishlist, but I guess you also can use it for a kind e-commerce solution.</p> <p>So I have a bunch of products, and I'd like to display them in a GF list, with product name in column A and the quantity in column B. The product names have to be pre-populated (based on the contents of the wishlist). The quantity can be entered by the user.</p> <p>As far as I can see the (unserialized) "format" of the list data array (after submitting) is the following:</p> <pre><code>Array ( [0] =&gt; Array ( [Product] =&gt; [Quantity] =&gt; 200 ) [1] =&gt; Array ( [Product] =&gt; Product 2 [Quantity] =&gt; 400 ) [2] =&gt; Array ( [Product] =&gt; Product 3 [Quantity] =&gt; 300 ) )</code></pre> <p>However, I can't use this same format when populating the "choices" array in the gform_pre_render filter. So it would be great if we can :)</p> <p>any other solutions are fine too, but I think it's the easiest if the format stays the same.</p> <p>One backdraw however: for this method you need to know the exact name of the columns to use it for the array keys. Maybe it's better to just map it to a regular index. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populate-list-field#post-40368 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 02:27:55 +0000 Chris Hajer 40368@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you post a use case for this? It sounds interesting. I will have one of the developers take a look at it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populate-list-field#post-40231 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 04:49:04 +0000 acsnaterse 40231@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it also possible to dynamically pre-populate the "new" List field?</p> <p>It's no problem to do this with checkboxes or any other input type, but I can't find the "format" for the "choices" array items of this List field.</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated :) </p>
