I can't access the documentation, but knowing that it is possible answers my question. </p> <p>I was thinking more along the lines of a query string. I'll be loading the form within an iPad application I am currently developing and can set the query string dynamically based on the workshop the user is currently attending. </p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populating-form-fields#post-28702 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:37:08 +0000 Carl Hancock 28702@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What do you mean based on the URL? </p> <p>Do you mean the URL the page is on? Or do you mean by passing a query string value in the URL (ex. mydomain.com/mypage?value=x).</p> <p>Can you clarify? Either way it's possible. Fields can be dynaically populated using PHP or via the query string. Here are some tutorials:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/How_To" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/How_To</a></p> <p>There are a few different tutorials related to dynamic population on that page. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-populating-form-fields#post-28701 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:13:23 +0000 bballentine 28701@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, </p> <p>Is there any way to pre-populate a form field (regular or hidden) based on URL? I would love to use Gravity forms for my training evaluation, but it would be extremely helpful if I could load a hidden field or pre-select an item from a drop-down menu based on the link a user would click on to access the form.</p> <p>If that's not possible, how about a method for pre-filling a field based on the date/time?</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
