Editable Dynamic Fields

Currently, it works best to add the new name, address, city, and state in a separate form. Then it will show up in the Dynamic dropdowns. Would that approach work for you? Or does it all need to be in the same form?

That is the problem with this particular client, he wants to do it “on the fly”, in other words, fill in the the existing agent’s data IF he exists (is in the dropdown) OR add a new agent to the page if he is not in the system yet.

This would require the auto-filled fields to be editable OR I suppose we could use AJAX and a link to add another agent and reload the agent name dropdown.

Further down on the form he has another set of data similar but it is standard entries and the client is asking if we can recall the customers from prior forms and dynamically auto-fill those fields too. However, it is not often that a customer repeats as it is not often a new agent needs to be added.

He has Formidable Forms Pro, of course.

Hi Richard,

1. In this case, you would need to have separate fields in the same form for adding new values (text fields) and displaying submitted values (Dynamic fields). The Dynamic fields would need to import data from the text fields in the same form.

2. Sure, you can use the [frm-field-value field_id=x user_id=current] shortcode if the users will be logged in.

If you have additional questions about this, please post in the help desk for continued support.
