Formbuilder Embed Options Query

[cosmicsafari]

Hi all,

I have the same form on multiple pages, the idea being that I can populated a hidden field with a page specific value automatically.

I figured this should be reasonably straight forward but I can't seem to get the following to take effect.

<?php echo $forms->embed ('my-form-name', array('hidden_field_name' => '666')); ?>

No matter what I do, it never updates the default value currently set for said hidden field.

Feels like I'm missing something really obvious?

Any ideas?

Not sure why the embed version didn't work but I changed it to render and it started working.

That said according to here it looks like the original should have worked also? https://processwire.com/api/ref/form-builder/embed/

<?php echo $forms->render ('my-form-name', array('hidden_field_name' => '666')); ?>

Hey @cosmicsafari!

FormBuilder questions should really be posted to the VIP support area, which you should have access to if you've got a FormBuilder license. If you have bought the license yet still don't have access, you should contact Ryan so you can get it sorted out ?

I don't think I've ever used $forms->embed() in this way, but according to the docs you can pass in an array that overrides GET variables, while with render you can pass in an array of pre-populated values. These are different things, obviously, though it probably should work if you had configured your form so that values can be pre-populated using GET variables.
