Form A has fields date, location, program, capacity, entryid
Form B has a dynamic field to select a record from form A. I need to store the each value from the dynamic record selected into form B as a record. How can I accomplish this?
Secondly, can I display in the dynamic drop down at least 3 fields? 

I am trying to be user friendly and not have muliple drop-downs for the user to select. 
 
Thank you !

You have to write custom custom code to display two or more field values in a dropdown. Dynamic fields link to the lookup form's entry id. Here's an article I wrote in 2018 that explains how to accomplish what you want. https://victorfont.com/add-multiple-fields-formidable-forms-drop-downs/

Thank you Victor! One more question, How do I display a dynamic field in form B? Is there a shortcode to set the default value?

<p>Thank you Victor! One more question, How do I display a dynamic field in form B? Is there a shortcode to set the default value? I was trying to use something like </p><p> </p><p>[frm-field-value field_id=621 entry=628 ] where 628 is the dynamic field </p>
