How to set a $_POST var value as default value for a textfield webform component?

I need to set a $_POST variable value as the default value for a textfield webform component using Webform 4

In the Default Value field I filled with %post[my$_PostVar] but is not working.

update: it seems like Webform 4 lost the %get and %post tokens comment-6337368

any thoughts…

I installed the Availability Calendars module. This module shows a availability calendar and provide a formlet to allows the visitor to submit a booking.

When this form (the formlet) is submitted this is sent to a webform where the visitor will continue filling the personal data to complete the booking.

Then form let send these vars: $_POST['arrival_date'] and $_POST['departure_date'] to the Webform. Here is why I need to fetch these $_post values in the Webform components

Booking integration by providing a small "formlet" that can post to (e.g.) a Webform.

and here some part of the Readme file of the module:

Defining the ‘complete booking form’ webform ——————————————– This part assumes you are using the webform module.

  • Define the webform components that the visitor should complete like name, e-mail, address, number of persons, etc.

  • Define webform components for the dates that are already filled in:

    • Begin date (default value: %post[from_display]): the begin date.

    • End date (default value: %post[to_display]): the end date.
