EntryField

The EntryField field allows you to pass a field of a previously selected Entry. You reference another form field (which must be of type Entry), and as soon as this field is filled, every corresponding EntryField field will be updated with the appropriate values. An EntryField can therefore not be filled manually.

This field type is useful for a visual feedback, passing fields onwards and showing or hiding Pages with conditional rendering.

Field options

Name	Type	Description

Name	Type	Description
name	string	The name by which the field will internally be referenced
displayText	string	The main field label displayed above the field
description	string	An additional description displayed below the main label
options	object	Additional field options (see below)
options.confirmation	boolean	Whether to include this field in the confirmation page
options.parentFormField	string	The name of the form field that, when filled, should act as the parent from which the value will be extracted. In the example image above, this would be `Contact`.
options.entryFieldKey	string	The key the should be extracted from the selected entry. In the example above this would be `Name`, `Address` and `Job`.
options.hidden	boolean	It can sometimes be useful to hide an entryfield field (e.g. to use it only for conditional rendering). Set this to true to hide the field.

JSON Example

This example uses an Entry field called Contact with 3 corresponding EntryField fields. When the Entry field is filled, the 3 values will be extracted from the chosen entry and automatically filled into the EntryField fields.
