Hi
I’m trying to pre-populate a dropdown field with data from MySQL.
add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_1') etc works to add the data and the form works ok, but I’m trying to add data-id and other attributes at the same time, but choices only take text and value.
I tried adding something like the below; I can see that field becomes populated with the required data in the admin and the front end, but the data doesn’t save when going through the form. Am I missing a step? or is there a way to add data attributes more efficiently? Thanks
//Custom Form Elements for Selection
add_filter("gform_field_input_1", "course_dates", 10, 5);
function course_dates( $input, $field, $value, $lead_id, $form_id ) {
if ( $field["cssClass"] == "course_dates" ) {
$input = '<select name="input_76" id="input_1_76" class="large gfield_select" aria-invalid="false">';
$input .= '<option value="0">Select Course Date</option>';
foreach($courseDates as $course){
...
...
$input .= '<option value="'.$course->course_id .'" data-id="'. $course->course_id .'" data-coursedate="'. $startDate .'" data-courselength="'. $course->course_length .'">'. $selectText .'</option>';
}
$input .= '</select>';
}
return $input;
}
