For example, on Bill Smith's profile, there is a link that says "Click here to email Bill Smith" so when someone clicks that link, Bill Smith is already pre-selected in the dropdown list.</p> <p>I've looked through the documentation and figure it's pretty simple but can't find an answer. UItimately I'm looking for scenario 1 described below, but the documentation only details the more complex scenario 2.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_Drop_Down_Fields" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_Drop_Down_Fields</a></p> <p>"There are two ways you might want to populate a drop down field. The first way is pre-selecting a drop down option when the form is displayed. The second way is dynamically populating the options that are available in a select (aka drop down) field. This walk-through will teach you how to configure the latter."</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
