[Plugin: Contact Form 7 Modules] Hidden fileld values cleared on successful submit

Hi, Kurt.

It is indeed CF7 clearing the field values on submit. I ran into this when trying to do a “conditional redirect” based on a radio button choice. I couldn’t capture the radio button choice to direct the page after the form was submitted.

I wound up having to have the CF7 developer create a custom add-on for me.

I’m not sure how to address the issue you’re running into however. Maybe have the values temporarily written to a file and then run a jQuery script to extract those values post-submit?

Hi, Efrem.

I believe I redirected a submission to a success page that included a “submit another” link. The form then included the correct hidden values.

Any explanation as to why CF7 clears hidden field values?

I don’t know, personally, why it clears the forms but I stumbled upon that info when looking at this post:

My guess is either for security or to reduce the chance of a duplicate submission?

Efrem:

There must be a reason. Security or duplicates would be my guess too.

Thanks!
