Populate entries from repeater field in another field (same form) to add more details. WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hello there,

I need a solution for a formidable form and I hope there is a solution:

- I have a form with some page breaks.
- On page "7" I have a repeater field which includes a text-field (people name. In my image called "Rollen und Bereiche") and three sliders
- On page "8" we need to select this people names ("Rollen und Bereiche") from page "7" and add some more details to them (here we have three checkbox fields with some values)

Is this possible somehow?
It is not necessary to have a repeater on Page 8. Any other solution is welcome.
Our client don't want to input the same names from page 7 again on page 8 (obviously). But we want to split these two entries and not put the checkboxes also on page 7.

I'll guess, this was more or less the same:

Does this make sense?
Thank you,
Michael

I have made that function using the WPForms plugin, it is fast, and easy.

Hello Cesar Contreras,

thank you.
I am sorry, I didn't mention that I use Formidable Forms - I will update my question. So I need a solution for formidable.

Again thank you,
Michael


Cesar Contreras comments:

I found documentation about it also with Formidable Forms, it seems to be the same procedure.
https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/automatically-populate-fields/
and
https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/dynamic/


Cesar Contreras comments:

This documentation is very well explained, I trust that with it you will be able to solve your problem

Michael comments:

Hi Cesar,

again thank you.
I now this functions. But I believe this would not work:
with a in the same form and a repeater field.

For repeater:
https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/frm_setup_new_fields_vars/#kb-auto-populate-multiple-rows-in-a-repeater

But still the problem with the same form, which we didn't save so long.

I am wrong?
