So I no longer need to send the value to a hidden field. </p> <p>Thanks :-) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-hidden-field-value-to-selected-multiple-choice-field-value#post-21832 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:35:35 +0000 Carl Hancock 21832@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>On further inspection, the User Registration Add-On should already be using the VALUE of selection fields (drop down, radio button, checkboxes) when populating User Meta and BuddyPress fields. So it should already be using the VALUE if you have populated a VALUE, if there is no VALUE it uses the OPTION LABEL. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-hidden-field-value-to-selected-multiple-choice-field-value#post-21775 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 11:45:08 +0000 Carl Hancock 21775@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We are going to update the User Registration Add-On and release an update today or tomorrow that will resolve this. It should be using the Value if a Value exists rather than the Option name. So we are changing it to behave that way. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-hidden-field-value-to-selected-multiple-choice-field-value#post-21709 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 14:10:29 +0000 Naomi 21709@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So, Carl let me know that you can only use the variables in the dropdown to prepopulate a field (default field value) and need to use PHP and available hooks to accomplish what I want. </p> <p>Can you point me in the right direction for populating a hidden field with the value of a multiple choice field?</p> <p>Or, is there a way to map the value of a MC field to a user meta field in the User Registration Add-On?</p> <p>Thanks :-) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-hidden-field-value-to-selected-multiple-choice-field-value#post-21708 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 14:09:21 +0000 Naomi 21708@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl, yes I am trying to map the value of a MC field to a user meta field, using the User Registration Add-On.</p> <p>Since I was unable to do it directly, I tried sending the value to a hidden field first, using the following code: {MCFieldName:1:value}.</p> <p>But when I submit the form, I just get the code I used echoed back to me: {MCFieldName:1:value} That's what appears in the form entry. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-hidden-field-value-to-selected-multiple-choice-field-value#post-21687 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 13:02:36 +0000 Carl Hancock 21687@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>To clarify, I take it you are using the User Registration Add-On and have a Multiple Choice field on your form and are trying to store the Value and not the Option Label of a Multiple Choice in user meta?</p> <p>Is the issue when you map the field to the multiple choice field the option label is being used and not the value?</p> <p>Just trying to understand the issue before we can determine what the next step is. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-hidden-field-value-to-selected-multiple-choice-field-value#post-21664 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 03:10:35 +0000 Naomi 21664@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello, I'm trying to set the value of a hidden field to the value of a multiple choice field - like so: {MCFieldName:1:value}</p> <p>since I can't pass the value of the multiple choice field directly to a user registration profile field. (Of course, I've set the values of the MC fields)</p> <p>However, that syntax doesn't seem to work, as the admin area shows the syntax I entered as the value of the hidden field, and not the actual value of the user-selected MC field.</p> <p>Can you point me in the right direction to get this to work properly?</p> <p>Thanks :) </p>
