You could do this with jQuery on the front end, if you needed it to be visible. However, you don't need it visible on the front end: you just want to update another field in your entry with a selection that was made earlier in the form.</p> <p>You can use the gform_pre_submission hook to populate one field with the data from another field.<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission</a></p> <p>If you post a link to your form, we can help you with the actual code to make it happen. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wp-post-category-used-to-populate-address-field-state#post-39506 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 06:27:03 +0000 drunkenmugsy 39506@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Not quite.<br /> I have a WP category field. The states have been set up as categories. Their is no default set. In a separate address field the address field 'state' is set to hide.</p> <p>What I want to do is have the selection in the category field be propagated to the state address, hidden field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wp-post-category-used-to-populate-address-field-state#post-39492 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:44:44 +0000 Chris Hajer 39492@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So your category drop down would be all 50 states, and you would set one category (state) as the default, and you want to make a form field equal to that default category selection? What happens if they change the state/category drop down from the default? How are you setting the default category? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wp-post-category-used-to-populate-address-field-state#post-39456 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:28:17 +0000 drunkenmugsy 39456@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there a way to use a field on a form to populate another field?</p> <p>What I would like to do is have WP category set initially and then use that dropdown to populate the 'state' field in an address field. From what I have read it is not possible without passing it from the URL? It also appears to not be possible with a multipage form?</p> <p>I dont believe that... hehe how to do it? </p>
