Automic input of previously entered fields

    I apologize if this is a noob question. I need to have a form where users are submitting information for an art show. They may possibly need to input three different pieces of art.

    I need to keep each form unique to the piece of art, NOT the person.
    I need to export the .csv for each piece of art affiliated with that person.

    If someone is done filling out 1 form for 1 piece of art and they go back to enter another piece of art will all their information be prepopulated in the fields?

    Sounds trite but it's a big deal for the client.

    thanks!

  2. No, data won't be pre-populated. They would have to fill it out again. It would be possible to write your own custom code to store data in a cookie in the users browser and use that to pre-populate forms when they come back. We have users that have done this, however it is a customization so it's custom code you would have to write.

    Storing data in a cookie and then pre-populating form fields when they return is a good idea so we will add it to our feature idea list for possible inclusion in a future release.

    As far as exporting data to CSV goes, you can export the form entry data to CSV... however currently the only filter is a date range and which fields you want to export. So you would have to export all the entries for that form, and then import it into Excel or something similar and filter just the entries you want (ex. for a specific piece of art).
