Multi-Select relationship field not being updated

I'd be most grateful if someone could have a look at this problem and let us know if something can be done to address it. Thanks, Tom O'Dea

I'm having a similar problem, however, my issue is that I can't get the bi-directional field to save when populated from the predefined hidden field that has a predefined value of {user:user_login}.
Jim tried to assist me with this tonight but it was out of support hours so we couldn't get to the bottom of it.

The field is generating perfectly within the gravity form on the front end and the post is saving the other fields, but it doesn't save the user-ID as the user within the bi-directional field.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

I believe I have the same issue. I have a multi-step form and it is not remembering the check boxes chosen when I push next and then previous. I've tried using the suggested code posted by sc0ttkclark but this hasn't fixed the issue for me. I can provide a URL for this if required.

If this issue is not likely to get resolved soon could you update this thread so i can request a refund from gravity forms as it this is a requirement for me to be able to use the plugin.

Ask Gravity Forms for access to their new beta add-on that is generalized for custom fields. It's not Pods specific and doesn't come with some of the things we have in our add-on, but it should be suitable and works great. It's not yet released, so you'd be using some sort of beta version of it, but it's high quality from the code I've seen and used.

I wouldn't request a refund for your Gravity Forms license, it's still a great solution and they deserve the money for their efforts plus support.

@winnersmedia It also sounds like you're experiencing a different issue than what is described in the bug above. This is about 'populating' existing records and the relationship fields not loading. Your issue sounds like the selections in the form aren't remembering their selections between sessions in a next and previous page form. That's a Gravity Forms bug and you should escalate to them since you have purchased the product.

@letmegreg Based on your question above:

If you're connecting to a relationship through a hidden field, you'd use the Meta Tax {user:ID}, not {user:user_login} because the relationship to 'Users' is to the ID not the login.

Hi, this is the response from gravity forms:

Hi Matt,

I'm afraid this is something the pods team will need to fix, they are only populating the field via the gform_pre_render filter, for the choice selection to remain when paging on a multi-page form they also need to populate the field via the gform_pre_validation filter.

Thanks for the update @winnersmedia. @sc0ttkclark Do you need this particular piece in it's own Issue since I don't think this and the original error report are related at all?

[winnersmedia]

Hi, is this now a new issue? Seems quite an important one. Is there a workaround?

[sc0ttkclark]

Try the latest 1.4 beta, I pushed a fix for the hook there:
