Apologies if you can give me another private reply i will change and update the login details.

You are on absolutely the right line though... I added wpcf- before the custom value in the form field but the response on the email i receive from the form just shows that custom value like this...

Course Title
COUNCILLOR TRAINING FOR TOWN & PARISH COUNCILS March 11th 3pm Session
Event Date and Time
wpcf-eventdatetime
Course Code
wpcf-course-code

I have attached a screenshot of the form backend....

Hello,

The problem is in Forminator Pro side, as I mentioned above, Toolset custom fields are same as other standart WordPress custom fields, they are saved in same database table "wp_postmeta", the only difference: it prepends "wpcf-" before field slug.

I suggest you check it with Forminator Pro form support, check if their plugin supports display custom fields in Email notification, and how to display custom fields in their Email notification.

With our Toolset Forms plugin, there should not be any problem, see our document:

Ok still confused and this seems really simple so not sure whats going on...

I have a custom event type, this has a couple of custom fields, one being course code - field-slug is course-code.

Now on the event page i have now used FORMIDABLE FORMS. I just want to collect the Course Code on the form when its submitted, so essentially the course code from the event page that the form is submitted from....

I added a field with wpcf-course-code and the email that comes through has this as a blank field.

Surely this is possible !?

Thank you for waiting and for sharing these details.

Luo is on vacation so I'll be following up on this ticket.

Your screenshot shows the custom field key "wpcf-course-code" used in the custom value field.

But you actually need that custom field's stored value which can be called using the "wpv-post-field" shortcode:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-field

[wpv-post-field name='wpcf-course-code']

If the Formidable Form plugin supports the third-party shortcodes in that field, this should work.

I'm also setting your next reply as private so that you can share temporary admin login details along with the information about the form, where you need this custom field value.
