Very confused!

  • I have 2 contact forms.

    Contact form 1 has one text box for a number input.

    contact form 2 is a longer version of the form.

    When Form 1 is submitted it continues to Form 2 using Contact Form 7 Multi Step Forms Extension.

    I want Form 2 to take the value submitted in form 1 and autofill it in a Text field.

    I am confused as to how to implement the dynamic text code so that it pulls the user input value from the previous page.

    The plugin instructions are very very confusing. Need Help ASAP! Anyone?

    So i got it to work, ONCE.

    Form 1: (using the dynamic function)

    <label id="introlab">[dynamictext dynamictext-415 "CF7_GET key='shirt-amount'"]Shirts!</label> 
&nbsp;
[submit "Lets go!"]
[multistep "1-2-https://test.com/test2/ "]

    Form 2: (Calling the dynamic Text to next form)

    <label> Quantity Needed:
[dynamictext shirt-amount]</label>

    It worked once, Now its showing me different values, sometimes it doesnt show anything at all.

    Is this set up right? Should this work?
    I want to know if im looking for a code issue in my forms or if im looking for a different issue entirely?

    For anyone that might be trying something similar, I achieved this by using Contact Form 7 Multi-Step Forms Plugin.

    I was unable to decipher the instructions in the dynamic plugin and support was useless. There are multiple requests in support forums that ask for assistance just simply using this plugin, and they go unanswered.. Plugin was geared towards coders, which is useless for a wordpress plugin, considering most users are not developers. I get that its a free plugin, but EVERY other plugin has documentation, support, and at the very minimum, a set of instructions that isn’t coding gibberish..

    I changed the scope for this function and got it to work with a different plugin. The text is not editable but it displays on the next page and thats good enough.

    Type your value in the first page, click go, and you are taken to the second part of the form and the value from previous is displayed using shortcode in contact form.
