This is a perfect requirement to use dynamic fields for the task id lookup instead of standard lookup fields. If you use dynamic fields, the value stored in the hidden field on form 2 would be the entry id of the task rather than the actual task id. You can use values from that entry to be the default values for additional hidden fields on form 2. You can literally bring every field in the lookup row to form 2 just by passing the task's entry id instead of textual value. See this: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/dynamic/#kb-display-dynamic-field-values. You would use the first shortcode option [x show="y"] in the hidden field default value field. x is the id of the field in form 2 that holds the lookup table entry id, and y is the id of the field in the lookup table you want to save in form 2.
Thanks, Victor - I'll jump into the dynamic field KB and see if that does the trick for me. Much appreciated, as always.
