I'm trying to have a form send a notification to a user ID based on a field in the form. I have tried following the directions below to add a generic field:

https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/automated-email-notifications-with-cred/

I've tried his using a generic hidden field (my preference) and a generic select field, using the following code:

[cred_generic_field field='recipientid' type='select' class='' urlparam='recipient']
{
"generic_type" : "user_id",
"required":1,
"validate_format":0,
"default":[],
"options":[
{"value":"","label":""}
]
}
[/cred_generic_field]

[cred_generic_field field='recipient_user_id' type='hidden' class='' urlparam='recipientid']
{
"generic_type" : "user_id",
"required":1,
"validate_format":0,
"default":""
}
[/cred_generic_field]

However, the field does not come up under the "Send notification to a WordPress user specified in a form field" drop-down (there are no options on the list).

Am I doing something wrong here? The instructions above say that the key line is the generic_type = user_id line, which I have added.

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Could you try adding "persist":1, to the generic shortcode and let me know if they start showing up in the notifications.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

That did the trick. I actually almost included that but decided not to because I wasn't sure what it was there for and the instructions very specifically said the key is to put in the generic_type: user_id line. Perhaps your instructions could be updated to specify that the other line is also required so that other users aren't confused.

Appreciate the clarification.
