I have a text field that is using Advanced > Lookup to pull in a name field from another form based upon the entry ID. I need to display the first name, however, show="first" does not work for the text field. I can't pull only the first name into this text field either. How might I accomplish this?

I don't know if this helps either of you, however, the Dec 12 release of Formidable Form 6.7 has the following enhancement: "New: Name fields now work in text calculations, including support for show=first and show=last options."

I solved this using javascript
That's what I was going to suggest as well. It's one line to perform the extraction of the first name and 5 or so lines of standard infrastructure.
