Yes, Webflow can populate a form with a JOB ID# from a previous page and include multiple pieces of information from a drop-down field. This functionality can be achieved using Webflow's dynamic forms feature and custom code.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this:
- Set up the previous page:
- Ensure that you have a previous page where the user selects the JOB ID# and other pieces of information. You can use a drop-down field to select the JOB ID# and store the corresponding information as options in the drop-down.
- Set up the form page:
- Create a new page where the form resides.
- Add a form element to your page and set up the necessary form fields.
- Configure the form fields:
- For the JOB ID# field, you can create a text input field and set its value with custom code.
- Add other form fields like name, email, and any other required information.
- Add custom code:
- To populate the JOB ID# field with the value selected on the previous page, you need to add custom code.
- Add a custom code block to your form page, and write JavaScript code to retrieve the selected JOB ID# value from the previous page.
- Use the retrieved value to set the value of the text input field.
- Publish and test the form:
- Publish your Webflow project to make it live.
- Test the form by navigating to the form page and fill in the necessary details.
- Verify that the JOB ID# field is populated with the selected value from the previous page, and all form information is submitted correctly.
By following these steps, you can populate a form in Webflow with a JOB ID# from a previous page and include multiple pieces of information from a drop-down field. This provides a seamless user experience and allows for efficient data collection.
