Shortcode within the shortcode

    I am using a custom field plugin and I'm having issues with having a short code within a gravity forms short code.

    I want the field values to be auto filled with the custom fields.

    ------
    [gravityform id="4" field_values="city=[types field="city-state"]"]

    will look like this

    [gravityform id="4" field_values="city=sandiego"]
    ------

    The problem is i get left with a "] so i don't think it will work

    Any ideas?

    Which plugin are you using? I can give it a try. However, I don't believe Gravity Forms is designed to work in this way. You might have to find a way to read the custom field values and pre-populate your field_values differently, not with the short code.

    Im using the plugin "TYPES" from http://wp-types.com

    I have no idea where to go from here. The plugin within a plugin would be the easiest if it could work.

    You can't pre-populate values this way. You will have to find a way to assign the value to a variable in PHP and use our hooks system to populate fields.
