Email form action fails when including CC or BCC

sem 15 Oct, 2020
Hi. Trialling V7.0.4. Using Advanced Form. Two things:

1. When adding CC / BCC recipient to form from form data, select the email field and it always seems to add start_page.title field too as a recipient, which will fail.

2. I can add an extra recipient with form data (the email address added - the same behaviour in (1) occurs. On complete, email is sent to all recipients fine. But if I change and add extra recipients as BCC or CC, email isn't sent at all on complete. Data is stored correctly in form log.

1- the next update should fix the "auto add" issue in config dropdowns!
2- make sure the Bcc/CC data is a valid email address

Hi Max.

1: Good news
2: the email addresses pulled from the form are valid. I’ll try adding a specific address as a bcc or cc on Monday rather than pull form data and see if that lets the email send.

ok, also it should not be the same recipient address!

Hi Max - you're right - fixing a specific email address in the cc or bcc works. Would be really handy to be able to pull a valid email address entered in the form and have it set as a cc recipient though.

Answer
you can choose one from the fields list, OR use the shortcodes: {data:field_name}

for the moment email dont run ok

the problem is here...
If you active cc adresses system puts this values in array and results is incorrect...

[cc] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 5
                )
