Hidden Field: Use custom field from post?

    Dear Forminator Team,

    first: thanks for this awesome plugin!

    Some context: I have a custom post type “offer” with a custom field “information” (created using pods framework). This field type “information” holds, obviously, information regarding to the offer. On each “offer” post type I have a simple form which allows users to signup for an offer.

    Question / situation I want to solve: When an users signs up for an offer I would like to include the custom field “information” in the email response to the user, however I can only embed e.g. Post Page ID, Page Title or other meta data. Is there any way I can make forminator include some custom field value which I can specify into an form submission? “Custom Value” field sounds promising but this is only some static information.

    Update: Just found this: https://wpmudev.com/forums/topic/forminator-pro-autofill-add-custom-field and it looks exactly what I want to achieve. Still, is there now a more user friendly solution available which does not require a custom plugin?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi @justsomeone

    I hope you are doing well.

    I am afraid it requires the custom code, by default on your email you can embed the Forminator macros like {name-1}, {field-x}…

    In case you would like to get any data from the page and append to a visible or hidden field and then use it on Form or email it require a custom code similar to the link you shared.

    Best Regards

    Hi Patrick,

    thanks for the super fast response and too bad there’s no “out of the box” solution.
    However using the custom code from the link as a code snippet works fine ??

    Best,
    Robert
