Hi @bygchyll
I hope you’re well today!
I’m not exactly sure what do you want to achieve here – are you actually trying to fetch values of some existing custom fields into that Forminator form? If yes – that’s not possible and not how this feature works.
The “Custom fields” section of “Postdata” field allows you set/add values TO custom fields when creating the post.
So first, you need to put fields names into “Label” there (this can be existing custom field or non-existing in which case it will be just created) and then
– either you can put some “fixed” value in “Value” there
– or, if you want user to be able to fill it in, you need to add additional fields to the form and “map” them there.
Let me give you an example.
Let’s say you want users to fill in the form to create a post and you want them to provide copmany name which will be added to the custom field named “company” in the post.
You would need to do this as follows:
– first, add a text field to the form (you can label it anyway you want just so make it clear to user that you want them to enter company name there)
– second in “Custom fields” in postdata set “company” (field name) as label
– then click on a + icon and select your text field from the list
This way the text field will be mapped to custom field so user will see text field on form, enter the company name there and form will then take this value and save it as value of the custom field named “company” with the post.
Kind regards,
Adam
