Cannot update an input text field value with php

Hello, I am trying to populate my update form fields from a custom post type data.

Bases on the plugin docuention, I used the Forminator_API::update_form_field( $form_id, $field_id, $data ); method like this:

$data =array(
```
    'options' => Array
        (
            'label' => 'Prenom',
            'value' => 'this is the last name'
        ),


            'name' => 'text-1',
            'value' => 'this is the last name'
        );
```
$fields = Forminator_API::update_form_field( 16049, ’email-1′, $data );

And it did not work. This code only works for the email input type and the phone input.

Any help please ?

Thank you.

Hello @mitys ,

Please check this:
```
$form_id = 1609;
    $field_id = 'text-1';

    $data = array(
		'id' => 'text-1',
		'element_id' => 'text-1',
		'condition_action' => 'show',
		'condition_rule' => 'any',
		'conditions' => Array
			(
			),
	
		'type' => 'email',
		'options' => Array
			(
			),
	
		'cols' => '12',
		'validation' => '',
		'placeholder' => 'Testing',
		'field_label' => 'Enter Text',
		'description' => '',
		'validation_text' => '',
		'custom-class' => '',
        'default' => 'testings'
	);
	
	$fields = Forminator_API::update_form_field( $form_id, $field_id, $data );
```
‘default’ => ‘testings’ – default key is where you put custom value.

Hello, thank you, the default key worked well for the text input type.

I would like to do the same thing for the name input and the select input, how could I achieve that ?

Thank you.

Hello, I cannot see the updates on the plugin documentation. Did you add any code ?

Hi @mitys,

We would like to have a bit more information regarding the workflow you are looking to achieve.

I would like to do the same thing for the name input and the select input, how could I achieve that ?

If you are looking to display the default value on the front end, we would suggest achieving this through jQuery instead of modifying each field with the Forminator API.

Could we know whether using jQuery would fit your requirements or not? So that we could suggest based on that?

Hello, I cannot see the updates on the plugin documentation. Did you add any code ?

Not sure I fully understood what you meant above. We can only provide and suggest code in this forums. Could you please explain further what you are referring?

Looking forward to your response.

Best Regards,

Nithin

Hi,

Actually I succeded to populate the text input(default) and also the select input (placeholder). What I am trying to do is to populate the form fields based on acf values before modifying them with the form.

The only problem that persists now is the postdata title that I couldn’t display on the form with the update_form_field function..

Hi @mitys,

Hope this message finds you well.

The only problem that persists now is the postdata title that I couldn’t display on the form with the update_form_field function.

That method is to update the field, as explained by Nithin, if you are trying to populate default values it can be done using jQuery instead of updating the post.

However, if the post title is not populating, could you check if the meta value us correct?

Best regards,
Laura
