Hi!

We have 2 forms (Form A and Form B) for our users.

When filling Form B, most of the fields are the same as Form A so we are using the [frm-field-value field_id=x user_id=current] shortcode to prefill those fields. It works great.

However, we don't know how to prefill repeater fields from Form B that are the same as the repeater fields of Form A. 

We saw this custom function in Formidable Forms documentation, but we believe is not pulling data from another form (it just sets specific values for the repetar field): https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/frm_setup_new_fields_vars/#kb-auto-populate-multiple-rows-in-a-repeater

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks a LOT!

If you know the entry id(s) of the repeater field rows, you can use this: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/get-a-value-from-an-entry/#kb-get-a-value-by-entry-id

Hi @Victor Font ,Thanks for your help. Can you please guide a bit more with your suggestion? 1. How could I get the entry id(s) of the repeater field rows?2. Once obtained, how could I "integrate" both Repeater Fields (Form A and Form B)?Thanks for your time and support.
