It's sometimes easier to get the values from simple, separate form fields as you've done. I'm happy to hear you worked it out. Thanks for the update.

I just did it another way. I created two single text fields, used a merge tag of {user:first_name} and {user:last_name} to insert the names... then did an "after submission function to update the username based on those fields like so... <pre><code>function gf_profile_update( $entry, $form ) { global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); $first_name = $entry['45']; $last_name = $entry['46']; update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'first_name', $first_name ); update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'last_name', $last_name ); } add_action( 'gform_after_submission_2', 'gf_profile_update', 10, 2 );</code></pre> Noel Green on "Pre-Render Names into Form" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-render-names-into-form#post-66941 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 16:58:28 +0000 Noel Green 66941@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Nope... no luck yet. This is what I have now. It's exporting the first name to the title of the entire form set (so it says, "Name (Noel)" <pre><code>foreach($form["fields"] as &$field) { if(rgar($field, "inputs")) { foreach($field["inputs"] as $input){ if ($field["id"] == 1) { $field["inputs"][3]["label"] = $first_name; } if ($field["id"] == 1) { $field["inputs"][6]["label"] = $last_name; } } } }</code></pre> Chris Hajer on "Pre-Render Names into Form" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pre-render-names-into-form#post-66919 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:45:05 +0000 Chris Hajer 66919@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ The name input is a complex field and as such will have inputs. Please dump the $form array and take a look. Additionally, this is documented here: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render</a> Check the second (final) example on that page, specifically where it talks about "complex field" and "inputs." I think you'll get it after that.

Then I have a separate form that they can edit once they're logged in that has different / more data. But it also includes their first and last name field. I need to populate that field with the user's first and last name and (for reasons I'm not going to go into here... just trust me... ) can't use the normal conventions to do so. Therefore I have this code... which works for another field but I can't get it to work on the first and last name field. I'm thinking one of the parameters is defined wrong, but I can't figure out which one. Help? <pre><code>//Display User Name # //form # = the "Personal Profile" form (2) add_filter("gform_pre_render_2", "personal_info"); function personal_info($form) { if($form["id"] != 2) return $form; global $post; global $current_user; $first_name = $current_user->first_name; $last_name = $current_user->last_name; foreach($form["fields"] as &$field) { if ($field["id"] == 1.3) { $field["defaultValue"] = $first_name; } if ($field["id"] == 1.6) { $field["defaultValue"] = $last_name; } } return $form; }</code></pre> The $first_name is grabbing the name. btw. I can test it with a hardcoded string and it still won't work.
