I have copied this script from Formidable and all works fine, however, the script only copies one field (first field [1562]).  I have made an attempt to modify the script but with no success.  Any help would be welcome.

Regards David

add_action('frm_after_create_entry', 'create_entry_after_submission', 30, 2); function create_entry_after_submission($entry_id, $form_id){
if ( $form_id != 774 ) {//Change 774 to the ID of Form A
return;
} $form2 = '773';//Change 773 to the ID of Form B
//Get user
if (!isset($_POST['frm_user_id'])){
return;
}
$user = $_POST['frm_user_id'];
//get data
if (!isset($_POST['item_meta'][15162])){ //replace 15162 with the first field ID in Form A
return;
}
$new_value = $_POST['item_meta'][15162];//replace 15162 with the field id in line 15
//create entry
FrmEntry::create(array(
'form_id' => $form2,
'item_key' => 'entry', //change entry to a dynamic value if you would like
'frm_user_id' => $user,
'item_meta' => array(
15321 => $entry_id, //change 15321 to the ID of the first name field (in Form B) with the entry ID of Form A
15318 => $user,//change 15318 to the ID of the userID field in Form B
15163 => $new_value,//Change 15163 to the ID of a first name field in Form B you want to populate with a value from Form A
),
));
}

Add field id/value pairs to the item_meta array.

Re your advice above, I have tried to use it but no success. Unfortunately my skills in using PHP is very rudimentary.
