How to populate a chek on a checkbox field?

  1. Hello,

    I need to populate a check in a checkbox based on some other data.

    Suppose, I have added a checkbox field at field number "67" and I have added only a choice "something" which saves information as field number "67.1". I have checked "dynamically populate field" and gave keyword as "check". Now, I want to populate "check" on the checkbox based on some other information from database.

    How can I do this?

  2. Hi Actsw,

    You can populate checkbox fields the same way you populate drop down fields, here is a walk through:

    The only difference is you'll want to put placeholder checkboxes in (via the GF form admin) for each potential checkbox or else Gravity Forms won't know to look for the dynamically loaded checkboxes.

    Let me know if this does not answer your question.

    uh oh, "you'll want to put placeholder checkboxes in (via the GF form admin) for each potential checkbox" .... but I would want the form to dynamically expand as I add more "source" items ... any way to dynamically tell GF how many checkboxes there are by using count($choices) ?
