Dynamic field value in email subject {myfield}

Hello,
in CF 7, I want to display on the email subject that goes to the recipient, a mix like for example :
"Your request + [content of a field]".
​
I tried {my_field_name}, {my_field_id}, {var:my_field_name} but I can't make it work.
Any idea please Max to show that ?
​
All the best,
Philippe

Hi Philippe,
​
The "Shortcodes Cheatsheet" that you can view from the 'book' icon near the right end of the menu bar in the form editor suggests {data:field_name}

Hi Bob,
​
I do have an similar issue:
My form is not sending any email. Not to me (administrator) nor to the user (different email address).
And the Thank you page is not shown either!
​
Do you have any clue what I am doing wrong?
​
Thx in advance,
Sascha

Hi Sascha,
​
Not the same issue at all, but I'll reply here as best I can. Check first that the Test email link in the Site Configuration settings works OK. If it does then try turning on the ChronoForms Debugger to see what is shown there.

When I click on the "Shortcodes Cheatsheet" the page freezes on the browser and nothing shows up, any other way to understand what to put within the curly brackets { } ?

Consult the Chronoforms V6 manual.

Hi Bob,
I have a similar issue as the first post in this thread:
In v5 I have a "custom code" with "Action Label" "subject" to get the subjet field in the emails:
<?php
$form->data['subject'] = "Anmälan till ungdomsgrupp {$form->data['input_select_9']}";
?>
I'm having a hard time to translate this to v6 coding.
Regards
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
​
This thread is about CFv7 which is a bit different. Please see this FAQ for the CFv6 shortcodes - they should help you solve your problem.

Hi Bob,
​
I managed to do this: "Anmälan till ungdomsgrupp {data:input_select_9}" and it seems to work.
BUT I don't know how to save the "Subject" to the DB.
