That is what I want to do "create custom Form settings (displayed when clicking the form title)". But I am having a hard time prepopulating the input text box with the data that was saved in previous posts. And I am having a hard time finding the documentation for this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/saving-a-value-in-a-gform_advanced_settings-input#post-75007 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:51:16 +0000 Alex Cancado 75007@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>gform_advanced_settings are used to create custom Form settings (displayed when clicking the form title). It looks like what you want is a field setting. If that is the case, take a look at gform_field_advanced_settings (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_advanced_settings)" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_advanced_settings)</a>.<br /> There is an example on that page that completely implements a field setting. I would start from that example when implementing your custom field. </p>
