gwp_count_matched_entries
The gwp_count_matched_entries Modifier can be used to count entries from another form, based on a shared value with optional extra filters.
:gwp_count_matched_entries form_id= match_id= filter1= operator1= value1= filter2= operator2= value2=Supported operators: ‘is’, ‘isnot’, ‘contains’, ‘greater_than’, ‘less_than’, ‘greater_than_or_is’, ‘less_than_or_is’.
Example
{Textfield:1:gwp_count_matched_entries form_id="2" match_id='1' filter1="3" operator1="isnot" value1=complete filter2="created_by" operator2="is" value2=1}Matches all entries in Form 2 where Field 1 has the same value as Textfield:1. It counts only entries where Field 3 value is ‘complete’ AND where created_by is User 1. The total count (sum) of matching entries is returned.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use this modifier to count how many entries in another form match a value from the current form. You must pass that value dynamically through a field merge tag.{Enter Order Code:1:gwp_count_matched_entries form_id="35" match_id="1"}
This counts how many entries in Form 35 have the same value in Field 1 as the user’s input in Field 1 of the current form.
Yes. You can apply one or two filters to limit the count. Use filter1=, operator1=, and value1= to filter results further. In this example, we count only if “Status” (Field 3) equals “Completed”:{Enter Order Code:1:gwp_count_matched_entries form_id="35" match_id="1" filter1="3" operator1="is" value1="Completed"}
Yes — the modifier supports nested merge tags. You can pull the filter value from another field using this syntax: *|Field Label:ID|*. This example uses the user’s selected status as a dynamic filter:{Enter Order Code:1:gwp_count_matched_entries form_id="35" match_id="1" filter1="3" operator1="is" value1="*|Filter Status:5|*"}
Now it only counts entries where both the Order Code and Status match the user’s input.
Because this is a modifier, not a standalone merge tag. Using value=”…” alone will fail. Always pass values through a proper merge tag like this:
Correct: {Order Code:1:gwp_count_matched_entries form_id="35" match_id="1"}
Wrong: {gwp_count_matched_entries form_id="35" match_id="1" value="ABC123"}
Yes. It works with dropdowns, radio buttons, text fields, hidden fields, and more. Just make sure the field values match what’s stored in the target form:{Favorite Color:2:gwp_count_matched_entries form_id="27" match_id="9"}
This counts how many entries in Form 27 have the same value in Field 9 as selected in the current form’s Field 2.
