These need to be named in the format: "input_FORMID_FIELDID"</li> <li>You have multiple inputs associated with one field, so the easiest thing to do is to create a single hidden input, named following the GF naming convention (i.e. input_FORMID_FIELDID), and then use Javascript to populate this hidden input when the other input fields change.</li> </ol> <p>Also, I think it will make more sense to use a single column list field instead, and then use gform_field_value_$parameter_name to populate the list field. </p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name</a></p> <p>This will likely work much better for you.

What do you have to do after creating a "custom input" in order to save the submission?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Sepehr </p>
