 * Hi,
 * For “standard” fields like text, phone etc. you can pass a value to other plugins
   like the CF7 by refering to the value like “user_pie_text_4” but that is apparent
   not possible for a dropdownlist as it’s reference name is put like “pie_dropdown_6[]”–
   the “[]” is messing it up for some reason…
 * One way to overcome this is to create an extra text field, hide it in the registration
   form to the user and then pass/copy the value from the selected dropdown to this“
   pie_text_Xtra” field upon Submit. (Xtra = 25 or the likes).
    Then you can pass
   the value into a CF7 form by […….; default:user_pie_text_Xtra;]
 * So the questions are:
    1) is there a workaround for passing the “user_pie_dropdown_6[]”
   value to CF7 (in this case) 2) or, how to copy the value from the dropdown fields
   to this extra field; perhaps you share an example of a code snippet? (I’m not
   a skilled coder).
 * Thanks very much in advance.
 * BR, Lars

 * Hi,
 * CF7 plugin allow to get usermeta values in their fields. PR plugin custom fields
   data save in usermeta table which you can get but values saved for dropdown is
   array data type.
 * Pie Register is not compatible with CF7 form plugin. There is no quick solution
   available. But we will look into it, if it’s possible to get dropdown data in
   cf7 form.
 * Thanks

 * Thanks, hope you can provide a “quick fix” 🙂
    perhaps a code snippet which can
   pass the selected dropdown value to an extra field?
 * Something else in the same “category” – does your MailChimp add-on sync all PieReg.
   fields; if they are allocated in MC list that is.?

 * Ok. It’s not possible in current version of PR Mailchimp addon. But we are working
   on new version in which you can sync custom fields with mailchimp list fields.
   We will let you know when it will be available.
 * Thanks
