Hi! I want to have dynamic admin email (based on user selection). I disabled the email cloaking plugin, so it's no problem getting correct email from user dropdown field selection.

But seems like it doesn't work. So i have to use other method for that ?

Thanks!

Hi websiteguy

Enable the form debug, does it show the correct email address under Data > location ? what does the debug show for the Email action ?

No it doesn't show anything, it just show error message like this (after form submission):

From the error image it shows the "From" email address is wrong or missing, did you enable the Email "From" behavior ? if yes then ensure it's configured correctly

No I didn't enable any "from" email address, please check my form, you can import it on your site to test it.

Ok, I have just imported and tested it here, it's working fine, which may mean a problem with the Joomla global email settings "From address" on your website ?
