Values from 3 fields on Form 1 to show as choices in 3 checkboxes in Form 2

  1. I have been reading about dynamic population of fields for several hours and unfortunately, it's not clicking in my brain. I hope you can push my brain cells along to get this.

    I want an editor to fill out Form 1 to post about a dinner meeting. There are always 3 dinner choices but they change for each meeting. I don't want the editor to go near gravity forms, just use the front end form I create. He can enter the 3 dinner choices in 3 fields.

    Form 1 creates a post and the 3 dinner choices also become values in Form 2's checkbox field with 3 options. Members see that form and check a menu item and submit to register.

    I have created custom fields with unique names for each menu item in Form 1. I also see that each field has a unique id. I just can't figure out how to pass that to the dynamic parameter field in Form 2. Also, in Form 2, I'd like to use checkboxes. So, I'm going from text fields to checkbox fields and I don't know how to pass the values.

    Any help would be hugely appreciated. I volunteered to do this for my local biz assoc.
    Thank you, Nancy

  2. I may have found a solution based on something told to 'DrDavid' in the support forum -http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes

    He wanted to populate checkbox values "based on the URL that the form is embedded on, dynamically populate the checkbox field"

    I want to populate checkbox values based on input values in text fields in another form that an editor submits as a post.

    I think I just need help modifying the function - http://pastie.org/1612873 - that David Smith provided.

    Thank you so much for any help on this.
