    I've a hidden field set up called "source"

    I've checked allow to be populated dynamically with a parameter name of "source"

    I insert this to the page:

    [gravityform id=1 field_values='source=ELLP1']

    What I actually see in the source code is this:

    <input type='hidden' name='gform_field_values' value='source=ELLP1' />

    I'm passing this to Mailchimp and connecting source field in GF with source field in MC - nothing is being passed.

    I need:

    <input type='hidden' name='source' value='ELLP1' />

    Help! :-)

    Thank you

    Have you added a Hidden Field to your form and set it up properly?

    - Edit your Form
    - Add a Hidden Field
    - Edit the Hidden Field
    - Give it a Field Label of Source
    - Select the Advanced Tab
    - Check the "Allow field to be populated dynamically" checkbox
    - Give it a parameter name of "source" (without the quotes)
    - See this screenshot: http://grab.by/aaIJ
    - Save your form

    Your shortcode should now work and dynamically populate that hidden field with the value you pass just like in your example above.

    [gravityform id=1 field_values='source=ELLP1']

    It worked in my tests. See this screenshot of the entry created on my test form with a form setup just like I described above: http://grab.by/aaIL

    How would I set multiple values at once?

    I’ve tried this but I can’t get it to select BOTH field values for the "rule field" checkbox I have setup.

    [gravityform id=1 name=TestingForm title=false ajax=true
field_values='apparel=SHOOTING Shirt)'
field_values='rule-field=hide-logo-placement'
field_values='rule-field=hide-background-section'
]

    UPDATE: Of course I figured this one out about 2 minutes after posting. :)

    [gravityform id=1 name=TestingForm title=false ajax=true field_values='apparel=SHOOTING Shirt&rule-field=hide-logo-placement,hide-background-section']
