Hi, I would like to set a param in my form and param should change when field 1135 (=dropdown field) changes. I put this statement  [frm-set-get param_myown="[1135]"] into default value field of a standard text field and set to read. I also tried this in devault value calculation (with text type on). But it is not working with variable field [1135]. My result is always "] Is there a way to set a param in a form field that changes when dropdown field changes? Thank you all for help.

You're using [frm-set-get param_name="value"] incorrectly. This is inserted before your form shortcode in a page or post. To retrieve the value of param_name as a field value use [get param="param_name"]. See this: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/set-values-to-be-used-in-custom-displays-or-default-values/#kb-usage

Also, if you’re retrieving from a dropdown, use jQuery.
