Retrieving data entered in one jotform in dropdown of another

Hi,

That is possible in Jotform. Here's an old thread with the full steps on how you can do it:

Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Thanks

i seen this before i asked this question but i doesn't do exactly what I'm needing.  here is an example of what Im needing.

I have form 1. One of the fields in form one is "name".  I want every time someone fills out form 1's name field it is added to every other user that inputted in that field.  Then in turn when I go to form 2 which also has a dropdown called "name" which when selected it gives all the submissions from form 1 in form 2 dropdown.  I hope I was clear.  Is this possible?

Hi,

Thank you for further details, but the only way that would be possible is if in the middle we include your database as well.

It could either work by redirecting the jotform to a page on your website which would gather the data and then pass the values onto form 2 (if they should go to form 2), or by having the jotform 2 on your website and making a source code customization to fetch the data from the database every time someone accesses the page with the jotform.

In both cases you would need to save data from your jotform into your database and then retrieve it.

To accomplish this you could use Webhooks and POST data option (for saving data) and would need to get someone to handle the calls that would collect data from DB and pre-populate the dropdown on form 2.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Ben

Thanks i appreciate your help. One last thing.  Do you think I could use a Google spreadsheet to accomplish this?
