Umbraco Forms: Get a value from a hidden field into another field

Hi there,

Is there a way to call the default value of a hidden field in another text field.

Let's say: I have a hidden field with this default value: 125,00 I want to create a text field: "The price is 125,00 Euros." Then the "125,00" shall come from the hidden field. Is there a way to get that?

Best, Simeon

There are a lot of magic strings you can use to pull in data, but I don’t think you can get to other fields values on the front end.

If that doesn’t work, you could write some custom JavaScript and/or make a custom form field to do the logic you need.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your help! I tried all of them before, but this didn't work. I tried:
```
[fee]
[@fee]
[#fee]
{fee}
```
All of these I tried as a default value in a text field. Would I need to go for JavaScript then?

Best, Simeon

Yeah then you probably have to go the custom field / JavaScript route.
