How to populate form fields from fields earlier in the form

Is it possible to fill in a field on page 3 of a multi-page form with the value that was filled in on page 1? More generally, is it possible to populate a field from another form field. I have seen code that reads fields and outputs to a Post, but that doesn’t help.

There is no built in functionality in Gravity Forms to do that, but there are several solutions.

  1. https://forgravity.com/plugins/live-population/

  2. https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-copy-cat/

Without one of those solutions, you could create JavaScript to copy from one input to another in your form.

Thanks for the answer. I would like to try the script solution. I have seen sample PHP. The stripped-down version of code I saw is:

add_action( ‘gform_pre_submission_6’, ‘pre_submission_handler_region’);
function pre_submission_handler_region( $form ) {
country = rgpost( 'input_30', true ); _POST[‘input_35’] = $region; }

  • Can I use PHP instead of JavaScript? Should I?
  • How do I replace the last step to write to a field instead of writing to Post?
