Hey @thewixwiz, I had a blast following your tutorial, and I'm thrilled to say the code is working great! However, I ran into a bit of a snag. As @RodneyMaele pointed out, "it fails to insert into the data collection field the input field is connected to after submission." This is quite frustrating, especially for us learners who completed your tutorial only to find the solution didn’t work as expected. Users might not realise they’re submitting blanks, and repopulating the fields this way feels redundant. Could you possibly update the video description with a solution or some debugging tips for us noobs? Thank you for the tutorial, please keep them coming!
Hi, thanks for your comment! I have double checked this on the site you see in the tutorial and can confirm that the auto populated fields appear in the submissions table for the form. While I don't doubt that you are encountering the issue you mentioned, it is hard to provide guidance when I can't replicate the scenario. I would recommend double checking: 1. That there is a submissions table for your form. 2. That you aren't using test@gmail.com or the likes as the email address for submission. 3. If you are using "old forms" or "new forms" (this demo uses old forms). If none of the above helps, you are welcome to join the livestream next week and maybe we can take a look at it.
How can i create an auto increment field in a cms . Let say i have a colecction called Trip. As soon i create a new one i need it to make an auto generate field called Trip Number .. Any suggestions? Thanks!
hi thanks so much for your content i have a different question regarding a contact form i want to make with the url that one box lets say called "traffic source" prefilled with "campaignx" so like that i know when i send out the form i get the results knowing it came from that source... so i can customize it. Please let me know if there is any way to do so. I tried looking up how but couldnt find any solution thanks in advance. Note that i am using wix forms and added a field...
Thank you for the tip, very helpful. I just have 2 questions 1. Though the input field is displaying the current member firstName , it fails to insert it into the data collection field the input field is connect to after submission, the field is empty in the data collection... I've reviewed all my permissions, they are set to allow anyone to edit. What could be the problem? 2. What are the benefits of using the async function rather than this simple one $w.onReady(function () {
Hey, thanks so much for your comment and support! It is hard to know what the issue is without taking a look at your code. There are several ways we can offer help - 1. Our free forum: thewixwiz.com.com/forum - I try to address questions there at least once a week. Please support your question with code snippets, screenshots, and even video. 2. Developer services. You can schedule a consult at thewixwiz.com/book-online. Asynchronous functions are another approach to resolving promises that often leads to cleaner code by avoiding what is known as "callback hell". I appreciate your support and thanks for watching!
congrats on those 4k subs, now let's go for the 5k, you deserve that and more, Wiz.
Thanks so much!!
The code works great to autofill. But when I submit the form, the values aren't saving. Any idea what I am missing?
I'm getting the same issue. It seems really intermittent.Sometimes works, mostly does not.

@@thewixwiz I see, perhaps it's due to using the 'new form' then. Would love to join the livestream but can't find how to join it.
Great Video Sir
thank you very much godsend😇50% work complete
Hi Eitan, how do I pull custom field data? I am trying to pull numbers and dates of birth, and boxes checked.
Hi, have you seen my tutorial about Custom Forms?

Can i convert this wix form data to google sheet?
If you are using a Wix form you can set that up via an automation -

Sounds like a typical use case for a data hook!
@@thewixwizyes could be , do you have any example? Thanjs
@@thewixwiz hey brother there is any way to make that?

Thanks for watching! You could use the same principles in this video to pre-populate a field with any value.
Why connecting data set by CMS slow my page
It shouldn't make a big difference unless you are loading a lot of data!
@@thewixwiz I want to learn velo coding do you have any platform or training program to join
@@sumandas1 you can check out my course on Udemy! www.udemy.com/course/velo-for-beginners/?referralCode=01160FFEE1B0AC0D7884
Thank you for the tip, very helpful. I just have 2 questions
1. Though the input field is displaying the current member firstName , it fails to insert it into the data collection field the input field is connect to after submission, the field is empty in the data collection... I've reviewed all my permissions, they are set to allow anyone to edit. What could be the problem?
2. What are the benefits of using the async function rather than this simple one
$w.onReady(function () {
currentMember.getMember()
.then((member) => {
const fullName = `${member.contactDetails.firstName} ${member.contactDetails.lastName}`;
$w('#fullNameInput').value = fullName
