Magic tags not working in Email Notification Settings

    I started using Caldera Forms a couple of days ago and I love it to bits. I’ve been trying to enhance a “contact” form on our website and I’ve run into an issue with magic tags in my e-mail settings.

    Ideally what I want to do is have the “From Name” and “Reply To Email” fields matching what is on the form, but when I give it magic tags, it returns the string instead of interpreting it.

    Example:
    From Name: %first_name% %last_name%
    Reply To Email: %email_address%

    Will give me an e-mail from “%first_name %last_name%” with no reply to field (I assume a mail server strips that out somewhere).

    The fields themselves work fine when I put them into the “Email Message” field.

    Any thoughts / suggestions??

    Unfortunately we are a non-for-profit sports club and I can’t get approval to spend money on support.

    I’d say this is more of a bug though? Unless it’s something that isn’t supposed to work with the free version, but I can’t find that documented anywhere.
