I can give it a try. However, I don't believe Gravity Forms is designed to work in this way. You might have to find a way to read the custom field values and pre-populate your field_values differently, not with the short code. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/shortcode-within-the-shortcode#post-69765 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 20:04:07 +0000 cmccrone 69765@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am using a custom field plugin and I'm having issues with having a short code within a gravity forms short code.</p> <p>I want the field values to be auto filled with the custom fields.</p> <p>------<br /> [gravityform id="4" field_values="city=[types field="city-state"]"]</p> <p>will look like this</p> <p>[gravityform id="4" field_values="city=sandiego"]<br /> ------</p> <p>The problem is i get left with a "] so i don't think it will work </p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
