Hello,

I have this link

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>">link</a>

where 1863 is the term ID I want to be checked on a page displaying a cred form.

The cred form displays the taxonomy based on

 [cred_field field='nature' force_type='taxonomy' output='bootstrap' display='select' single_select='true' urlparam='nat']

But the select doesn't display the right term, as if it did not recognize the urlparameter.

Thank you.

Hi Roman,

Thank you for waiting.

During testing, I was able to confirm that the pre-population of the taxonomy field from a URL parameter is not supported.

For this, you'll need to add some custom script, in the form's "JS editor" tab:
( screenshot: hidden link )

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
  // Construct URL object using current browser URL
  var url = new URL(document.location);

  // Get query parameters object
  var params = url.searchParams;

  // Get value of "nat"
  var nat = params.get("nat");

  // Set it as the dropdown value
  jQuery('select[name="nature[]"]').val(nat);
});

I hope this helps.

regards,
Waqar
