    hi,

    I’m working on a construction website. I need to put 10 forms in my website to get the information about the projects and then estimate their cost. here’s the challenge: Every client needs to fill some of these forms based on what he needs. But there are some fields repeating in every form like “land dimensions”. Is there any way to display some fields just once in 1st form and use their data in next forms? I need a plugin or s.th that removes similar fields automatically.

  • Why multiple forms, instead of just one?

    You could build one form, and use conditional fields to ask “qualifying questions”… and display additional fields based on the answers to those qualifying questions.

    Let’s say you wanted to collect information depending on if the person is a student or teacher. Instead of having two different forms, you could have just one and:

    1) First, display fields common to both roles (eg name, email, phone, etc)
    2) Then, show a qualifying question: “Are you a STUDENT or TEACHER?”
    3) Finally, if STUDENT is selected, then display additional fields relevant to the student role ONLY. And if TEACHER is selected, display additional fields relevant to the teacher role ONLY.

    This way, users will only see the fields that are relevant to them.

    You can have as many of these “qualifying questions” (ie logical/conditional branching or routing) as you want on a single form. You can even break the single form into multiple pages if you want.

    Note that WordPress doesn’t have any form-building capabilities built-in, and the availability of these features… or even the possibility to implement your original plan… depends on the particular form builder plugin you’re using.

    Good luck!

    Changing the design in that way would be much better. I’ll do that. Thank you so much! You really helped!
