Populate Parent Entry ID

Populate the current parent entry ID (or hash) using the “gpnf_parent_entry_id” dynamic population parameter. This parameter can only be used for fields in the parent form. To capture in a child form, you must populate the parent entry ID in a field on the parent form and then use the {Parent} merge tag to capture the ID in a child field.

Code

Filename: gpnf-populate-parent-entry-id.php

      Hi Carlos,

      Unfortunately, I am not really following your use case, so I can’t confirm if this snippet would work for what you’re trying to do. I will be emailing you to follow up on this and request additional information.

      Best,
