This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Using a custom field with a URL / hyperlink - to send the value of another form field from the same CPT to a gravity form using a URL query string.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Not really. Just standard HTML for the query string
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Here is the string as of now: https://site-url/registration?coursereq=peds3&instructor=jealous&date=December 12-15, 2018
I have a CPT for a course. one of the custom fields is a URL link to the course registration button. Because there are several different courses, there are 3 different field values that need to be sent to the regsitration form which is built using Gravity Forms. They are:
1. Course Requested
2. Dates
3. Instructor
4. Status (Course OPEN / CLOSED)
the CPT has this info, and I have created similar fields in the Gravity Form, but I need help sending the value from the STATUS custom field to the Gravity Form in the query string.
Solution:
In Types plugin side, you can try with Types shortcode [types] to output the custom field value, and setup it as URL parameter of the link, for example:
http://my-url/?my-param=%5Btypes field='my-field'][/types]
It will be able to output custom field "my-field" value as URL parameter "my-param"

In "gravity form" side, you will need to check their document to setup the URL parameter:
https://docs.gravityforms.com/using-dynamic-population/
section "Query String"
You can also ask help from the supporters of "gravity form":

If you look at the screenshot I uploaded, its the very last field that I need to send over to my registration form.
What is the link to your site?
hidden link
