    Hi.
    I have this booking form here: http://buffetkompagniet.dk/bestilling/.
    If I choose "Svane buffet" under Buffet some deserts and starters will appear in two extra select boxes.
    If I then fill out the rest of the form on step 1 and come back from step 2 to step 1, the starters and deserts select boxes are there but are empty. This is happening because gform_pre_render is run every time I go between steps. However this is where the select boxes are prefilled with data. How can I prevent gform_pre_render from running everytimes I go between steps? Or how can I pass the selected buffet starter choice back to gform_pre_render, so I can render the right data back into the select boxes.

    I am really stuck on this one. Hope some can help. :-)

    I think I sort of solved it, but in an ugly way and it is too complicated to share. Sorry, I would normally share, but I don't even know where to begin. I didn't find a way to make gform_pre_render render only once though.

    Do you need any help or are you satisfied with the solution you came up with?

    For multi-page forms, you can run code with the gform_post_paging hook:

    Hi Chris, thanks for asking and for the tip, I appreciate that.
    Wonder why I didn't notice this hook gform_post_paging when I was setting it all up in the first place, or maybe I did and just have forgotten about it.
    Anyway, I am pretty happy with my solution and I can't spend more time on this project, so I'll leave at it is for now.

    Thanks
    Vayu
