In the notification mail that is sent, %%FORM_DATA%% does not show entries made in generic fields using CRED. Entries needed in this case are the 'single line' and 'phone' fields.

The form can be found here: hidden link

Hello,

Yes, you are right, the placeholder %%FORM_DATA%% does not support generic field.

But you can create your own placeholders with filter hook "cred_body_notification_codes", for example:
1) Add below PHP codes in your theme file "functions.php":

add_filter('cred_body_notification_codes', 'gf_placeholder', 10, 3);
function gf_placeholder($defaultPlaceHolders, $form_id, $user_id) {
	$newPlaceHolders = array(
		'%%my-field-slug-1%%' => $_REQUEST['my-field-slug-1'],
		'%%my-field-slug-2%%' => $_REQUEST['my-field-slug-2'],
	);
    return array_merge($defaultPlaceHolders, $newPlaceHolders );
}

2) Use below placeholder in the form mail notification body:

%%my-field-slug-1%%
%%my-field-slug-2%%

Please replace my-field-slug-1 and my-field-slug-2 with your generic field's slugs.
