In formidable forms. How i can set one input field value to the other field in a same page. Lets assume that i want to copy the id "sfryw" field to another field in same page so i wrote [frm-field-value field_id=sfryw user_id=current] in the default value section of other field. But here the value is coming from the previous submit . It's not comig from the current real time . It will be helpful for me if anybody can tell me how can it be done .

Hi Maeen,
If you want to use the value from one field in another field in the same form you can just put the field ID shortcode (e.g. [123]) in as the default value.
There's more about it here: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/field-calculations/#kb-text-calculations

Can you do that from one form to another?
Yes you can. See this: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/get-a-value-from-an-entry/

If you're using HTML fields and want to use the shortcodes of other fields in the HTML field, the easiest way I've found is to use page breaks: the HTML field with shortcodes must come in a page *after* the fields you'd like to carry forward.
Hope this helps :)

replied 8 months ago Just wanted to say how helpful this was for me. I was trying to use an existing date field in an HTML field and it wasn't working which was driving me bonkers. I had the HTML field in a different section, but putting it after a page break allowed the date field from the previous page to finally show up in my HTML field! Thanks!

It appears that this issue was never resolved.
I want to auto-populate an entered value in the same form into a field that is later down in the same form.
How can this be done?

replied 7 months ago <p>It was answered by Michael. You must insert a page break somewhere after the original field but before where you want that original field's value to be put into a different field. So, you cannot have an entered value repeated into another form field if both fields exist on the same page. Put a page break between the two fields and it works perfectly.</p>

replied 7 months ago Welcome, @Ron H. Glad you found it useful. I use the technique like a mini, running summary field without all the overhead of a summary field, and way more flexibility, if you're willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty with a little css (and maybe some html, for the brave at heart, LOL).
