I was now able to recreate this issue. The simplest solution is to give each radio option a URL-friendly "value" (using the enable values option). If you don't want to use the values, you can enter the URL-friendly encoded formatted:</p> <pre><code>[js] &amp; =&gt; &amp; amp; &quot; =&gt; &amp;quot;</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/query-strings-and-special-characters#post-44313 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 18:46:54 +0000 charismaarts 44313@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello David: Thanks for getting back with me on this. What I want to do is have a multiple choice input (radio buttons) on page one. The labels on these inputs may or may not have quotes. When the user hits submit on page 1; the data is passed via query string to page 2. On page 2 is the exact same form as page one with exact same multiple choice thing. So; I want this form on page 2 to be dynamically pre populated from the input on page 1. But when there are quotes or other special characters on the labels of page 1; then the form on page 2 is not prepopulated properly. But if I remove all special characters, then it can prepopulate without a problem... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/query-strings-and-special-characters#post-44182 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:06:01 +0000 David Smith 44182@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Gerard,</p> <p>To clarify, you'd like to pass data entered in one form (which contains quotes) to another form and automatically populate this data into another field? And the only issue is the quotes? I did a couple test with this scenario and the form was able to populate the text with quotes in without issue.</p> <p>Could you post some sample data (with quotes) that is not working? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/query-strings-and-special-characters#post-44138 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 09:09:23 +0000 charismaarts 44138@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello: I tried to find an answer to this but no luck so far. I have a form with a 'radio button' input; the choices include things that people might say and need to have " quotes" around part of it. And I am wanting to pass this response to a following page form via query string. and then dynamically populate a similar form on page 2; the problem comes in with having quotes on the response; then i cant get the field on the next page to pick up the data properly; but as soon as I remove those special characters; it works fine. I tried to see if I could do the "enable values" option; but I could not figure out how to make it pass that info in the query string instead of the "label". If I could do that; then the "label" could have all kinds of crazy characters and i would not matter. I am thinking this may be an easy matter to answer for any GF veteran. Can anyone help? Thanks, Gerard </p>
