In reality entrants to a competition have to pick 15 players from a list of 150, and then select a team captain from the 15 selected.</p> <p>If it cant be done it cant be done - definitely not the end of the world - just thought it would have been a nice feature to have.</p> <p>RMK </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populating-a-drop-down-with-other-drop-downs-on-the-current-form#post-55812 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:31:03 +0000 Rob Harrell 55812@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is not something Gravity Forms is going to be able to do for you out of the box. You'd have to implement a customization, and unfortunately, the documentation for how to dynamically populate a drop down isn't going to help here because the drop down appears on the same form page. Which means, you'd have to do this using AJAX which would not be a simple customization.</p> <p>Could you just relabel your fields like:</p> <p>Favorite Team<br /> Second Favorite Team<br /> Third Favorite Team</p> <p>and just not have a fourth field. Or you could maybe have just a single input field in which they type it in? Just kicking around some potential alternatives. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populating-a-drop-down-with-other-drop-downs-on-the-current-form#post-55744 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 06:09:05 +0000 raymondmckeown 55744@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a more complex form currently built, but for the purpose of this support query I have created a much smaller example to see if it will work.</p> <p>On a form (<a href="http://www.moygac.com/testform" rel="nofollow">http://www.moygac.com/testform</a>) I have got 3 different drop-down fields, currently set as football teams. What I essentially want to do is populate the options for a fourth drop-down field with whatever selections have been made in the first 3.</p> <p>For example, if I select as follows: Team1 Liverpool, Team2 Leeds, Team3 Barcelona<br /> I would like the options for the fourth drop-down (Final) to only be Liverpool, Leeds or Barcelona.</p> <p>I'm sorry if this comes across as a very simple question but I have been through the documentation and the previous support requests and I cannot see an example which explains it to me. </p>
