Can dropdown selection choice set secondary input field values?

    I am creating a form and would like to have it such that the user could select an choice, and based upon that choice, have other input fields be automatically filled in.

    For example, if the user selected choice A, then hike_level = short and hike_lead = Susie.

    Also, is it possible in that same form to fill in a field with a generated input based upon the fields selected? For example, if I create a field called hike_and_hiker, can I autofill it from the input fields name_of_hike and hike_name? The goal is to create a unique “key” that I can use to filter on to determine if a user has previously signed up for a hike. (All hike information for multiple hikes is stored in one form db.)

    The question of a form’s behavior is not a CFDB question. That is a question for whatever plugin displays your form.

    That being said, I have an example of using a CF7 form where a SELECT tag has its OPTION choices populated by data in CFDB. See: https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=1435

    Thanks Michael,

    Your pointer was very useful and helped me create a dropdown menu choice for the contact form.

    As always, your help is extremely appreciated.

    Cheers

    Kathy
