Hello! A form has several answers per user. I'd like to get the values of one field in some of entries.
For this I have a vew with Value from entry 1= [frm-field-value field_id=x entry="140"]
Value from entry 4= [frm-field-value field_id=x entry="230"] Value from entry 8= [frm-field-value field_id=x entry="300"]
The Entries have a field (Y) which counts the entry number so the question is: Is there a way to get the Entry ID based on the value of that field (Y)?
Something like
Value from entry 8= [frm-field-value field_id=x entry="[shortcode to get the value when Y="whatever"]"]
Or is it possible to add other variables to the original shortcode?
Like [frm-field-value field_id=x FieldY="anyvalue"] Thanks a lot! Original kb https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/get-a-value-from-an-entry/

I shared this snippet: https://connect.formidableforms.com/question/category/code-snippets/get-the-value-for-a-field-within-an-entry-where-parent-field-equals-x/
The only caveat here is that this will only return a single value referenced from an existing unique value. It does not return an array of values, if that is your need.

replied 2 years ago I tried before asking, but I couldn't make it work:
I have a view and I need to get the values from 3 entries. Field 606 is the counter and I want to get the value of the field 556 in the first, fourth and eigth answers (out of many).
[get_frmlinked_data field_id=606 where_value="1" associated_field_id=556]
[get_frmlinked_data field_id=606 where_value="4" associated_field_id=556]
[get_frmlinked_data field_id=606 where_value="8" associated_field_id=556]
To use the view I filter it trough a parameter that shows just one user's entries. The problem is that the value it returns is from another user. I guess it is because the 606 value repeats all over the entries (from 1...n)
Any idea would be greatly appreciated!

replied 2 years ago This is not a "many" solution unfortunately. I don't think this will work for you. Is "1" a unique value for field 606? Probably not.
