Hi,
Here is a "simple" thing I want my form to do. I want the default value of the 5th visible field of the form accessible below (which is a drop down) to be different depending on the page the person came from.

Any idea on how to do this?
Thanks,

I will have to test and see if this is possible. It is possible to set the default value of a field using PHP, but I need to look into how to set the default value of a DROP DOWN and if it is possible with the existing API hooks. I'll keep you posted. It might be tomorrow before I can get back with you on this.
Adrien,
You can set the the selected value of a drop down based on a query string parameter. Try the following:
1- In the form editor, select your drop down field, go to the advanced tab and check the "Allow field to be populated dynamically" field. Enter a parameter name for it (i.e. mydropdown)
2- When linking to the page/post that has the form, create your url passing the value you want selected in the quey string. For example, if you have an item in your drop down called "Cars", you would use the following url: http://your_url.com/my-page/?mydropdown=Cars
