Change a field during submission

oh, am I being dumb and I can just return back the array with the modification?

EDIT: Nope, I suspect the data has all been captured by this point and the emails sent. I guess I need to use forminator_form_before_handle_submit

Hi @delanthear

I hope you are doing well today.

I pinged our SLS Team to review your query. We will post an update here as soon as more information is available.

Kind Regards,

That’s would be appreciated! I’m slightly out of my depth, which is annoying because getting the slug into the email is the LAST thing I need to do here!

??

If it’s useful, this is pretty much what I’m trying to do, but with Gravity Forms instead or Forminator: https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_pre_submission/#2-populate-a-field-using-the-value-from-another-field Example 3.

Hi @delanthear,

Could you please check and see whether the following hook helps?

forminator_custom_form_submit_before_set_fields

Where you can directly fetch data using it’s parameter?$field_data_array?instead of using $_POST and this will help in modifying the hidden field too.

Please check this example code as reference:

add_action('forminator_custom_form_submit_before_set_fields', 'forminator_append_email_to_hidden_field', 10, 3);

function forminator_append_email_to_hidden_field($entry, $form_id, $field_data_array)
{

     $form_ids = array(6); // Please change the form ID.
    
    if (!in_array($form_id, $form_ids)) {
        return;
    }

    $user_email = '';


    foreach ($field_data_array as $key => $value) {
        if (strpos($value['name'], 'text-1') !== false) {

            if (is_email($value['value'])) {
                //it is already an email no need to replace.
                $user_email = $value['value'];
            } else {
                //get the email by user login
                $user_email = get_user_by('login', $value['value'])->user_email;
            }
        }
    }


    foreach ($field_data_array as $key => $value) {
        if (strpos($value['name'], 'hidden-1') !== false) {
            Forminator_CForm_Front_Action::$info['field_data_array'][$key]['value'] =  $user_email;
        }
    }
}

I hope the above helps in moving forward.

Kind Regards,

Nithin

Great! I’ll give that a go. Thanks!
