Query String not populating field dynamically

  1. I've followed the example in the Documentation, but I'm not getting my field to dynamically populate via query string.
    My Gravity Forms survey is here: http://whub34.webhostinghub.com/~videoh6/brucetesting.com/performance-survey/
    I'd like a field to be populated dynamically with the account name. So, my plan is to give the survey user a URL like this: http://whub34.webhostinghub.com/~videoh6/brucetesting.com/performance-survey/?NA=account-name.
    When I tested this, the account name is not being populated in my National Accounts field even though I've checked the "Allow Field to Be Populated Dynamically" and I've entered the parameter name as NA.
    Can you please tell me how to make the field populate dynamically so it is shows up on the Form Entries?
    By the way, I've set the field to be visible by Admin Only.
    Thanks very much.

  2. I have two fields in this simple form. But are "allow field to be populated dynamically" with a parameter name of "NA" (case matters: be sure you use the same in both places.)

    http://gravity.chrishajer.com/national-account-test-query-string/

    Try loading it with the NA parameter:
    http://gravity.chrishajer.com/national-account-test-query-string/?NA=Walmart
    http://gravity.chrishajer.com/national-account-test-query-string/?NA=Progressive

    It populates both the hidden field, and the admin only field. I'm not sure what is different on your site. If you used the same case for the parameter in the URL and in the form builder, I would start by checking for theme and plugin conflicts following these instructions http://rkt.gs/testing

    It will be difficult for us to see if your page is working because you have the field set to admin only.
