    Hi ,
    I got 2 Formidable forms created and a PDF template with data from Form A. Each user will fill out Form A (can’t be changed once filed in) and Form B which user can fill as many times as they like. Can the data from those to forms be combined and generate a PDF like Form A with Form 2 data?

    You can use Formidable’s Get a Value from an Entry to populate the values from any other form by sending the form KEY as a parameter in the URL.

    We are also adding functionality to add a 2nd dataset (form). I’ll let the developer respond regarding the timeline of the new feature.

    Ha, I guess I answered my own question.
    So in the template for Form A I have a section where value changes depends on the data from Form B. I was able to use something like [frm-field-value field_id=122 user_id=current] to retrieve last submitted data from current user on Form B.

    It is possible to attatch the original PDF again to email once people filled in Form B?

    Yes, set the form’s email notification trigger action to send emails on new entries and/or updates.

    Hi,

    E2Pdf have possibility to connect E2Pdf Template to 2 forms (https://prnt.sc/1qczq3d) however it’s more designed to export and merge predefined datatests data from backend “E2Pdf” -> “Export” or with “Dynamic Fields” where you can select and get 2nd dataset ID, as it must be known to correctly generate PDF shortcode.

    In your case it looks like using shortcodes inside E2Pdf Template as [frm-field-value field_id=122 user_id=current] can be the best and the easiest solution.

    As about attachments to mail and pdf download links, you can just try to vice-versa connection as:

    – E2Pdf Template can be connected to Form B
    [frm-field-value field_id=122 user_id=current] – must be used to get information from Form A.

    In this case you must not have any problems with sending PDFs by triggering mail actions from Form B with needed shortcodes and PDF can contain information from both submitted entries.

    We remain at your service.
