    it does not populate one field value to another field of the same form in muti steps for example in step one I have field ${b1-1} which is a radio button with user Addressing Title
    Mr.
    Ms.
    and the next step is Name field ${b1-2} and 3rd step I want to make Display Name with Addressing Title by merging both field keys as default values like this
    Display Name = ${b1-} ${b1-2} ex: Mr. John Doe but these keys as default values don’t populate dynamically while other Forms builders such as Fluent Forms, Formidable Form, and Gravity Form have these features also they can map BuddyPress X Profile Fields too. Even Gravity Form has the ability to live merge tag option where you do not need to make MultiStep form because it does change any dynamic value in real-time and live everywhere like HTML, place holder, label, and as default value,

    Thanks for your interest in Bit Form. We want to inform you that it’s indeed possible to populate one field’s value to another field within the same form in multiple steps. Let me guide you on how to achieve this.

    Assuming you have a multi-step form with a Radio field for Salutation (Mr. Ms.) in step one, a Name field in step two, and you want to display the combined value in a field called Display Name in step three, here’s how you can set it up using conditional logic:

    1. Navigate to Form Settings > Conditional Logics > Add Conditional Logic.
    2. Set the following conditions:
    • Action Run When: Record Create/Edit
    • Action Effect: Only on Field Input
    • Action Behaviour: Condition
    1. Specify the condition: If Radio and Name are not null.
    2. Set the action: Display Name value to be a combination of Radio and Name.

    You can add the Radio and Name field data by clicking on the three dots.

    Please refer to this screenshot of the conditional logic: https://prnt.sc/NOZUdr5LajW-

    You can explore the functionality with this demo form: https://dev-wayes.pantheonsite.io/conditional-logic

    Note:

    1. Populate one field’s value to another field this is not only for Multistep form this can apply to any form in Bit Form
    2. If you want, you can populate dynamic values in labels, subtitles, helper text, and titles by following same procedures with conditional logics.

    Thank you for your prompt response, and I’m delighted to hear that everything is now functioning as expected. Screenshot was not showing in link but I followed your steps to achieve the target.

    As a user who has extensively utilized Fluent Form, Formidable Form, and Gravity Form, with those being my top choices among WordPress form builders, I’ve recently incorporated Bit Form into my toolkit. I plan to share my experiences after thoroughly testing its functionality.

    However, I find myself returning to the same question I raised earlier. The process of populating field values to other fields seems intricate and closely tied to conditional logic functions in Bit Form. In comparison, other form builders such as Formidable Form and Gravity Form offer a more straightforward approach. They allow users to directly input relevant shortcodes, field IDs, or field keys into other fields, serving as default values that dynamically populate.

    For instance, in Formidable, you can simply use shortcodes like [1], [2], [3] as default values, making it a swift process to populate values in placeholders, labels, default values, etc. In Bit Form, achieving the same result seems to be a more time-consuming endeavor. It would be immensely beneficial if Bit Form could adopt a similar approach, allowing users to use placeholders like {b1-} {b1-2} to set default values efficiently.

    I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope for possible improvements in future updates.

    I’ve gone through your post detailing how to show one field’s value in the label of another field. It’s disheartening to admit that such a convoluted feature exists in your form builder.
    It’s a bit frustrating that you need to go through complex steps in the settings just to show a value as a label or default value. It seems like a lot of unnecessary effort. Why make things complicated when other form builders let you easily insert field keys ir simple shortcodes anywhere in the form to show fields values?
    The time investment for such a simple task is perplexing. Who will spend valuable time just to exhibit field values?—perhaps you?
    Furthermore, I was shocked when I observed your plugin’s seemingly inflated rating despite the multitude of bugs. This led me to the realization that the positive reviews are due to incentives like cashback offer, a strategy that taints the credibility of your ranking.
    It’s regrettable to say that your form builder is receiving recognition not for its excellence but, unfortunately, for its flaws.
    Please Learn from your competitors first.

    Regarding your feedback on the user interface (UI) and the challenge of inserting Bit Form’s field keys for URL encoding, we appreciate your input. We are considering your suggestion about improving the UI to make it more user-friendly in future updates. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to provide a better experience in the upcoming versions of Bit Form.
