Can I do this?

Did you ever get an answer to this? We’d like to do this as well. We have 2 forms, a short and long form.

When a user fills out info on the short form, they are redirected to the long form. We’d like to be able to pull certain fields from the submitted short form and pre-populate them in the long form.

Anyone done this?

Hi! All you need along with Ninja Forms is this extension – MultiPart Forms. With this plugin, the user can easily go back to ANY part/page of the form to correct or double check any info inputted.

Not what we want to do. We already have that extension.

For this client site they have 2 forms…..a short form and a long form. People start out with the short form, this has only a few required fields to get the most basic info. When this form submits, the client gets that critical data and the user gets sent to the long form.

The long form collects a lot of data, so some people bail on it.

What the client wants is any of the fields from the short form that are also in the long form to be pre-populated with the data already entered in the short form.

Doing just 1 multipart long form is not an option as the conversion rates are way lower. The client wants to at least capture the critical data is the user bails.

@lancermedia, my answer was aimed to the OP. It would have been best for you to open your thread as your situation isn’t exactly the same as the OP’s. But for your situation, the problem is that if the user is on the short form, he/she will have to submit that then it’d be problematic to find which short form to use to populate certain fields in the long form.

My suggestion is to use one form, but hide the fields that are not needed initially by using jQuery then if the user elects to continue, once again, use jQuery to show those fields.
