[Resolved] duplicate records from one set of fields to next set of fields

I have a membership type of site.

In the registration form the new user fills in, he is required to complete his physical address and postal address Each one consist of 5 fields. Instead of completing both manually, the client wants us to add a function where if the one has been completed that there is a button that says copy to the other address fields. So in other words, if the client completed the physical address and his postal address is the same he can just click the button to auto-complete the other.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Since there is no built-in feature available for this, it will require some custom script.

For example, suppose you have these 10 single type fields for the addresses:

Physical Address Fields:
post-physical-field-1
post-physical-field-2
post-physical-field-3
post-physical-field-4
post-physical-field-5

Postal Address fields:
post-postal-field-1
post-postal-field-2
post-postal-field-3
post-postal-field-4
post-postal-field-5

To add a link that copies the values from Physical Address fields to the Postal Address fields, you can add an "HTML content" field in your form, with the copy link code, like this:

<a href="#" id="copy-address-fields-link">Copy Physical Address to Postal Address</a>

And in the form's "JS editor", you can include the following script that copies the values from the physical address fields, into their respective postal address fields, when the copy link is clicked:

jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
	jQuery('#copy-address-fields-link').click(function(){
		event.preventDefault();
		var fieldVal1 = jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-physical-field-1"]').val();
		var fieldVal2 = jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-physical-field-2"]').val();
		var fieldVal3 = jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-physical-field-3"]').val();
		var fieldVal4 = jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-physical-field-4"]').val();
		var fieldVal5 = jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-physical-field-5"]').val();

		jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-postal-field-1"]').val(fieldVal1);
		jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-postal-field-2"]').val(fieldVal2);
		jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-postal-field-3"]').val(fieldVal3);
		jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-postal-field-4"]').val(fieldVal4);
		jQuery('input[name="wpcf-post-postal-field-5"]').val(fieldVal5);
	});   
});

Feel free to adjust these field slugs, as used on your website.

I hope this helps and for more personalized assistance around custom code, you can consider hiring a professional from our list of recommended contractors:

Hi Waqar

Thank you for your code snippets. I have implemented them however it still dies not copy. I would appreciate it if you could just have a look at the code for any obvious errors you could pick up.

Here is the html for the form.

        jQuery('input[name="postal-address-post-code"]').val(fieldVal5);
    });   
});

I would appreciate it you could just have a look.

[Waqar]

Thanks for writing back.

In my example JS code snippet, I included the prefix 'wpcf-' before the field slugs, but, I don't see it in your JS code.

Can you please include the prefix 'wpcf-' before the field slugs in the JS code and then test the fields again?

If it still doesn't work, please share the link to the page, where this form can be seen.
