Tell us what you are trying to do?
I've set up a page called "Lessons" where I've listed the different type of lessons that are offered. I've created a button "Inquire Today" that links back to the homepage section where the toolset form is located. I was wanting to know if it were possible to pass data from when the user clicks on that button so that it automatically selects that package from the select menu so that the user doesn't have to do it manually?
Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The [cred-field] shortcode supports the attribute urlparam using which you can grab the value from the url param.
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-end-forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_field

For example - configure your form which displays the "I'm interested in:" dropdown field with urlparam:

 [cred_field field='what-package-are-you-interested-in' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' urlparam='interested_in']

And then the place where you added the " Inquire Today" link: beta.iwebnow.net/lessons
- Pass the correct URL parameter value to your each package with urlparam interested_in=11.

<a href="/?interested_in=11"> Inquire Today </a>
<a href="/?interested_in=12"> Inquire Today </a>

Hi Minesh,
That's just brilliant!

One thing I haven't figured out is how to pass that /?interested_in= to an anchor tag?

Currently on my site - the "Inquire Now" buttons link back to the homepage using /#book as url. Is there a way to pass that information so that it goes to the section of the homepage where the form is?

Thanks for all your help.

Ah! I figured it out, I need to set the url to be something like this:
/?interested_in=11#book

This will pass the parameter we set and then scroll the page down to the URL anchor for the form section I created.
Absolutely Brilliant!

Thanks for your help Minesh, this helps me out so much.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
