Driving Distance Widget: AutoFill From and To Details from Short Text Fields

Good day. I am trying to seek solutions for copying 2 short text or 2 address to be copying into driving widget from and to detail. So that client will not need to key the detail twice or from driving widget from and to detail into short text or another detail output

Hi KE,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

Let me help you with that:

Jotform offers a Driving Distance widget that calculates the distance between two locations entered by users. However, to achieve the functionality where the details from two short text or address fields are automatically copied into the Driving Distance widget's 'from' and 'to' fields (so clients don't have to enter the details twice), there is no direct built-in feature to link these fields automatically.

Here are some options you can consider:

• Use the Autocompleted Address widget for address fields to speed up address entry and reduce errors.
• Manually instruct users to enter the addresses once in the Driving Distance widget fields, which will calculate the distance automatically.
• If you need automatic copying between fields, this would require a custom widget or custom scripting which is not natively supported in Jotform forms.

If you have programming knowledge or a developer, you could explore creating a custom widget using Jotform's API Widgets platform to achieve this specific behavior.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Meaning to say there is not available or other options. Besides asking clients to key the address twice?

Hi kelee1218,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to pass values to the Driving Distance widget using conditions in Jotform. The widget does not support receiving input values from other fields through conditional logic. While the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now, we've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers.

Exactly when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.
