Cascading Lookup Fields
Get Formidable FormsDo you want a way to make your forms quicker and easier to fill in for your users? You need lookup fields by Formidable Forms.
A lookup field gives you the power to let multiple forms interact behind the scenes. This allows you to dynamically populate field options & values with data from other forms. Your forms can automatically retrieve values & use them as options in a dropdown, radio, or checkbox field.
With lookup fields, you can create a dependent drop-down list (or chained selects) the easy way! Use data from another form to populate dropdowns, perform calculations, or display text in a new form. The resulting possibilities are limitless.
Lookup fields are included in all premium Formidable Forms plans.

Lookup fields as simple or complex as you need
Lookup fields can also take the place of complex calculations for price estimates, quotes, and payment forms. Instead of complex calculations, simply filter down to a price or final value. As the user selects options from Lookup fields, it will ultimately display a final value in a text field.
