Never edit Gravity Forms code, it makes upgrading difficult. Customizations are always designed to be added to your theme or child theme if using a framework, which won't impact Gravity Forms upgrades. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/predictive-field-ajax#post-19049 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 01:44:13 +0000 greentypewriter 19049@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm also trying to autocomplete fields and i'm new to jquery. I just don't know know where to add the code. Would it go into my WP theme code or into GF code?

Basically I want to have a list of stores stored and if someone starts typing "Walmart" and it already exists then I would like it to show and and you can select it.</p> <p>Any help would be great! </p>
