Field_values not set when posting form « Gravity Support Forums

I'm creating a form like so:
[gravityform id="2" name="foo" field_values="a=b"]

I've got a custom field which catches the value of 'a' in this case (having set the proper options to catch the value of course):
```
add_action('gform_field_content', 'eo_add_field_schedule', 10, 5);
function eo_add_field_schedule($content, $field, $value, $lead_id, $form_id)
{
    if ($field['type'] == 'schedule') {
        var_dump($value);
    }
    return $content;
}
```
On page load, the dump correctly displays 'b' but when posting, the value remains empty. This issue pops up once the form has validation errors.

Any idea's on this one? Thanks!

I used your code snippet above on an email field and the $value variable had the right value after the form is submitted. After the form is submitted, the $value variable will have whatever was actually entered in the field, and not what was used to initially populate it.
I am guessing in the dark, but I think the problem is your input does not have the right name attribute. (i.e name="input_FIELDID"). Take a look at the text field input and try making yours follow the same pattern. That should make Gravity Forms understand the value submitted by your input and the $value variable will then be populated with the value that was submitted.

How obvious to set the right name attribute.. Thanks Alex! It even works with array values!
