    Hey there, first support topic here it seems.
    First of all, THANK YOU folks at WPEform for creating this plugin, it’s been a pleasure to work with so far and I’m beyond amazed at the quality and funtionality provided in the free version.

    My problem is the following: I am creating the website for an upcoming event, with one page per exhibitor, each with a short quiz at the end to engage the visitors and gather some leads. As each quiz is presented on a different page and there is no fixed order in which these are supposed to be taken in, I have created a contact form at the beginning of each and every quiz.
    Would it be possible to store the user data and auto-fill in the form of the next quiz?

    Thank you in advance, and please keep up the great work!

    Hello,

    First of all thank you very much for trying out our product. I am very glad that you find it useful.

    As for what you are asking, unfortunately we’re not there yet. As of the current version, you can read from WordPress user metadata or URL parameters and have the element’s value prefilled. You can read about it in the documentation of specific element. Here’s an example.

    We’re still working our way to actually save user metadata after form submission. But your requirement gave me an idea. The user metadata can be used for logged in users, but not for “guest” users. So we can develop a way to store value in window.localStorage and have an element prefilled from the same. We are adding this to our todo list and will definitely add it to one of the future versions.

    Do let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
