Introduction

Using dynamic population in Gravity Forms allows you to dynamically populate a field with a value (or values depending on the field type).

Note: This guide explains how to enable dynamic population for a field. To set a default value for a field refer to this article.

Note: For choice based fields that support dynamic population, the dynamic value will be selected if the specified value already exists.

Enable Dynamic Population

To enable dynamic population for a field, you will go to the field’s Advanced Settings Section and check “Allow field to be populated dynamically”.

Checking this option will enable data to be passed to the form and pre-populate this field dynamically. Data can be passed via Query Strings, Shortcode and/or Hooks. After checking this option, you will need to specify the name of the parameter you will be using to pass data to this field.
