TOPIC: "save" or reuse previously filled in values

"save" or reuse previously filled in values 4 years 2 months ago #40948

Hi there,

I was wondering whether this construction is doable via RS Forms.
Lets say I fill in a form with 10 fields, and I send/submit.
Can I fill in the form again but reuse 5 fields (so that they are already filled in)

Example,
I send a request of something for somebody
-> so the first 5 fields are my credentials and
- > the second 5 are for childA
and I send/submit

Next I want to resend a request for childB, for example with a button "send another request"
so I want to reuse the first 5 values and then add other values in the second part of the form.

Any idea how I can create this?
I think the idea is "passing through information from one form to another", after a submit?

Thanks for feedback!

Yes, we had a bit of a discussion about it here:
www.rsjoomla.com/forum/37-rsform-pro/307...e-in-formlayout.html

In my case, I'm using it to prefill a club member's details in a membership renewal form on a separate database to Joomla so you would need to modify how you get the data if you are using the main CMS database. Some info here:
https://docs.joomla.org/Selecting_data_using_JDatabase
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you obviously don't understand the situation!

Hello,

You can display information regarding your account when the form is loaded with the help of custom scripting:
www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/r...n-form-is-shown.html

For your scenario you could also try using the conditional fields feature in order to display a different number of fields for entering children information.

For example you can try adding a dropdown where you will select the number of children you want to add, then display the fields for each one based on this selection:
www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/r...ditional-fields.html

With this implementation users will be able to submit their information in a single submission and not have to submit the form multiple times.

"save" or reuse previously filled in values 2 years 8 months ago #42207

Hello,

I am using a combination of conditional rules and selectize fields. In short if one of 10 different options is chosen in field 1, then a corresponding selectize field 2 is displayed. So eg. if in my field 1 "Function" the user choses the option "Finance" then he will see a selectize field 2 with around 20 tags which he can add. The result is a combination of field 1 and field 2.

Now I want to display exactly his combination/result next time the user opens the form. I know that I can probably get the values from the database - but I don't know how. Could you please help me with this use case?

Thanks
Uwe
