E-mail refering to Label and not value in 1.14.10.1

Seems to be occurring when:
– checkbox or radio button
– worked on .10 version

Can you please upload .10 version to roll back to? currently only .9 version available

Just realised I was using .9 not .10

I found this in your changelog:

“Fix: Radio field shows value instead of label in submission”

Is this intentional? Why would you want the label not value in the submission? Especially if using it for calculations (or in my case to integrate text blocks into the email if a selected radio is pressed)

Please see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/conditions-and-emails/

It makes far more sense to include the “value” not the “label” in the emails. Please change it back!

Hello there @mrbleuu

This is indeed happening by design with the recent update. As other members were complaining, we are discussing bringing a new option about it.

Meanwhile, you can use the following workaround.

Please download the zip from https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/d6f5bfbf17af7d5edf972e863aa0e01a , extract it and upload the forminator-selectables-filter-values.php file to your site’s wp-content/mu-plugins folder.

If that folder doesn’t exist you can simply create it like this https://premium.wpmudev.org/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins

Thank you. Above seems to work, but only for the first radio button. Then the output in email seems to be blank for the second radio button question. A subsequent checkbox is included without problem.

The exact same form works fine in .9

Is there an issue with above muplugin workaround?

Here’s a sample form.

https://pastebin.com/HfxguxZk

It does not replicate the error I am having exactly but I think fixing it might fix the issue.

The checkbox values should be “checkbox1-option-1, checkbox1-option-2”

Your code is emailing it as “radio1-option-1, radio2-option-2”

Please change email address before testing.

Same here. I don’t really see the point in printing the labels instead of the values. :”( Please change it back! That’s what values are for!

Hi @mrbleuu

Thank you for the form, I sent it to our Second Line Support to verify the code and update it if necessary.

@codimex I sent your replies to the plugin team.

Hi @mrbleuu

Can you please try to use a single option for each value radio and checkbox?

Those can’t be the same

There are some duplicated values that are causing the problem, so you can five a new single value and the form will work as expected.

Let us know the result you got.

Hi @wpmudevsupport12,

Posting my observation (from another topic) that seems to be relevant to this topic and might help with mitigating the issue.

…I was keeping Forminator at 1.14.7 to run some other tests since 1.14.10.1 is having another issue with Checkbox changed structure and data populating, see excerpts from serialized “entries” for the identical submitted forms (field “value” has different structure and data – it’s taken from Value in 1st case and Label in 2nd case):

[1.14.7]
s:10:”checkbox-3″;a:2:{s:2:”id”;s:4:”1265″;s:5:”value”;a:1:{i:0;s:11:”УЗИ-ЩЖ”;}}

[1.14.10.1]
s:10:”checkbox-3″;a:2:{s:2:”id”;s:4:”1255″;s:5:”value”;s:33:”Щитовидная железа”;}

The values are not the same. The labels are the same – which you would expect in a form (e.g. label ‘Yes’, ‘No’ may be repeated in different questions)

The values in the sample form uploaded are:
– radio1-option-1
– radio1-option-2

– checkbox1-option-1
– checkbox1-option-2

– radio2-option-1
– radio2-option-2

Hi @mrbleuu

Thank you for the update.

Sorry, I wanted to say the labels, the checkbox and select should have different labels.

However, I sent this reply to our developers.

THanks Patrick. However in real world implementation they may have the same label.

e.g.

– Radio – What is your preferred day? Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri
– Checkbox – What other days are suitable for you? Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri

Hi @mrbleuu

I totally agree, we let our plugin team know about it.

We will let you know once hearing back from the developer that created the custom script too.
