I'm using a dynamic drop-down to pull data from multiple forms, and everything works well until I try to populate two fields from the same form. Here's the setup:
Form A:
Area text field.
Form B:
Area - dynamic drop-down linked to Form A
Department text field.
Form C:
Employee Area - dynamic drop-down linked to Form A
Employee Department - dynamic drop-down linked to Form B
Employee ID
Employee Name
Employee Mobile
Form D: Uses dynamic drop-downs to pull data from other forms:
"Area" from Form A
"Department" from Form B
"Employee Name" from Form C
"Employee Mobile" from Form C
The issue arises when trying to retrieve "Employee Mobile" in Form D - it simply doesn’t pull any data. All other fields work fine, but this specific field does not populate as expected.
When using dynamic fields to populate drop downs from the same form, use cascading fields: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/dynamic/#sts=Set%20up%20cascading%20fields
I'm already using cascading fields but it only work with different forms, not with the same form. I have also tried this method but didn't work either https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/dynamic/#kb-dynamically-display-values-from-selected-entry
Cascading fields should definitely work with form C. That's exactly what they're designed to do. I suggest you ask someone to take a look at your setup.
