Cognito-forms – Populating Fields Cognito Forms

You have a couple of options for this:

1. For many types fields you can set a default value for the fields. This could just be a constant value, but you can also enter a calculation that defaults the field on the fly based on changes to other fields. However, you cannot default address fields, so you would have to break this down into individual text fields to make this work. In the example below, the field named SecondField is defaulted to the value of FirstField.

   

2. Another option is to have a set of calculated fields that represents the parent's primary address. These fields could be calculated from a combination of the students's primary address, the Yes/No field selection, and anything entered for the parent's primary address. These calculated values will be included in the export. You could make the parent address conditionally show based on the Yes/No selection and make these calculated fields always be hidden so they only appear in the export.

   

So generally the answer to your question is yes, but names and addresses are a bit more complicated by their nature. Please mark this as the answer if it addresses your needs or add comments if you need clarification or if it will not be enough to fulfill your requirements.

There are a couple of ways to handle calculating subtotals for repeating sections:

1. If the form represents a true invoice and the subtotals represent money and nothing else, you can set the form up to use the built in payment features of Cognito Forms. When you mark fields as Collect Payment, they will automatically appear on receipt/invoice grouped by repeating section item. Choice, Currency, Yes/No and Price fields can all appear on this "invoice" and the Price field gives you complete control with the ability to calculate both the amounts and the description of each line item if you need this power. In this case you would not be collecting payment from them, so mark the form via Payment Settings as never requiring payment.

2. The other option is to use the powerful calculation capabilities in Cognito Forms to quickly calculate the subtotals. In the example above, you could add a Calculation field at the bottom of the form and use a calculation like =MyOrder.Sum(ItemTotal) or even =MyOrder.Sum(Product_Amount * Quantity) to calculate the total for the My Order repeating section. Remember set the Type to Currency for the Calculation field so it will be formatted correctly and allow you to use the value of this field in other calculations. You can learn more about these capabilities in our help documentation at: https://www.cognitoforms.com/support/51/calculations/repeating-sectionstables. Take a look at the section on Working with Repeating Sections.
