Proper Use of Merge Tags?

    Lets say I have a multi-page form and I have a field called "Agent Name" with a field id of 2.
    Shouldn't I be able to pre-populate a field on page 2 of my multi-page form with the value entered in that first page field id 2?

    If so, can I see an example of how that Merge Tag should look because I have read the documentation page and still seem to be doing something wrong.

    Thanks!

  2. Form field merge tags are only available for use after form submission. You would need to use some custom coding and our pre-render hook for this:

    This thread might be of some use as well that provides a jQuery method:

    Ok, thanks! Question my id looks to be #input_1_2. The ones in the examples are #input_356_2.3. What is the .3? I just want to be sure i'm identifying my Input id's properly..

    Thanks Again!

  4. You should be fine if that is your input ID on the input you are targeting. The .3 was most likely referencing an input in an address field would be my guess.
