HTML Fields Hidden on Submission

    First off, awesome plugin. Huge thank you to the developers.

    I setup my form first time no problems. I have a multi-column form that’s collecting data for example:

    Boxes | Quantity: 5 | Color: Green

    The quantity and colour are standard single input text fields but in the first column, the HTML field is just some text.

    The issue I am having is when a submission is made the quantity and color are showing up in the email received, but not the text I put in the HTML field.

    Seems like an easy fix, but I am not sure what to do.

    Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for using Caldera Forms and for your kind words.

    HTML fields are not really fields at all, just an opportunity to display some HTML in the field. They are not saved with the entry and will not be included in the entry.

    Instead, you should put this information in hidden fields and then show the value of those hidden fields in the HTML “field” using magic tags. See: https://calderaforms.com/doc/html-field-with-value-binding/

    I read it and saw that I need to insert the %field_slug%. I am not sure how to do that do I place it in the HTML field block. Like so…

    %<h3>Refuse Bags<h3>_refuse_bags%
