/**
 * Gravity Wiz // Gravity Forms // Map Submitted Field Values to Another Field
 *
 * Usage
 *
 * 1 - Enable "Allow field to be populated dynamically" option on field which should be populated.
 * 2 - In the "Parameter Name" input, enter the merge tag (or merge tags) of the field whose value whould be populated into this field.
 *
 * Basic Fields
 *
 * To map a single input field (and most other non-multi-choice fields) enter: {Field Label:1}. It is useful to note that
 * you do not actually need the field label portion of any merge tag. {:1} would work as well. Change the "1" to the ID of your field.
 *
 * Multi-input Fields (i.e. Name, Address, etc)
 *
 * To map the first and last name of a Name field to a single field, follow the steps above and enter {First Name:1.3} {Last Name:1.6}.
 * In this example it is assumed that the name field ID is "1". The input IDs for the first and last name of this field will always be "3" and "6".
 *
 * # Uses
 *
 *  - use merge tags as post tags
 *  - aggregate list of checked checkboxes
 *  - map multiple conditional fields to a single field so you can refer to the single field for the selected value

@bkellaway (or others who have the same question)

When using this for a dynamically populated drop down the label is stored - not the value.

Answer lies in the docs for merge tags here. Just use the following syntax:
{Field Name:Field ID:value}
For example:
{Choice:7:value}

Hi, if I update the source field on Admin side the target field is not updated accordingly. How can I maintain the values in sync when I update from Admin area? Many thanks

@spivurno I cannot get this to work. I've copied your code to the end of my functions.php file and placed {:7.1} into the field 96.1 parameter name (allowed to be populated dynamically) which I want to populate with the content entered into field 7.1. When testing the form and I enter content into field 7.1, nothing appears after tabbing into field 96.1. Am I overlooking something? This is a simple text (address) field. When I look in the developers console (Firefox), I can see an event triggering with both a change and keyup function, each showing: function(e) {
gf_raw_input_change(e, this)
}

@madriverweb The value will only be populated on submission. If you need the value to be populated live, on change/keyup, check out Gravity Forms Copy Cat.

I am looking to add some fixed prefix and followed by a substring of another field.
Is this possible?
If Yes, how?

Thanks in advance
