    Where do you specify the target form on which you want to create entries? In the configuration settings here, I only see the parent form ID

      Hi Gil,

      There is a form_id parameter in the configuration to enter the target form ID. If you’re still not seeing it, email us via our support form and include a screenshot of what you see on your end.

      Sorry just seeing your reply now. In the code above it says: new GW_Multiple_Entries_List_Field( array( ‘form_id’ => 123, ‘field_id’ => 4, ‘field_map’ => array( 1 => 5, // column => fieldId 2 => 6, 3 => 7,

      Is the form_id there for the parent form or the target form?

      Hi Gil,

      I’m unsure what you’re referring to as the parent form. This snippet is used to create multiple entries on a form, using the content in the list field rows, to create the entries on the same form. I’m guessing your setup may be a different from how the snippet works, so I will be contact you via email so we can take a look at your setup.

      Best,
