Passing returned data

    Well, I seem to be banging my head against the wall trying to figure out something that should have a simple answer, but I am just not seeing it. I set up a pre-process WordPress filter processor to send an ajax API call to get some data and return it to Caldera. This part for me was easy because I am a software developer, and it works. I am able to display an error message or a green success message.

    However, I for some reason cannot figure out how to use the results of this data when filling out the rest of the form. I guess what I am asking is I need to do API call to check something, then proceed with the signup form with the results of my API call as a field. I can’t figure out how to do it.

    Thanks for using Caldera Forms. If you need the data from the API to continue the form submission, you’re doing the API call to late, since the form is already submitted.

    I would recommend doing the API call when the field the API call is based on is changed using jQuery AJAX.

    If you need help implimenting this, please open a support ticket at https://calderaforms.com/support
