checkbox and radiobos in 3.2

jonwilkin 19 Sep, 2011
Today I wanted to add a checkbox to an existing form in v3.2, using J1.5.23
That's easy enough and I did it. But then I had to add that info into the existing email template, but I don't know the number of the new checkbox. Since the last checkbox in the template was {check4}, I tried {check5}, no,didn't work, so I tried a few more, no success. Looking in the html code didn't as each checkbox had a number, but I didn't see one for the entire array. In form wizard, in textbox, the iem shows as text_#. But neither checkbox or radiobox show something such as check# or radio# in form wizard, so I couldn't determine {check#} for the checkbox I just added. Finally I gave up and took the new checkbox off the form. How could I figure out the number?

Hi jonwilkin,

In the Admin click the Form code tab, open the Form HTML and look at the code. The name of the inputs in the group will be something like name="check99[]"

I tried it again, saw the new checkbox was check2, but an existing checkbox already was check2. So I deleted the new one. I guess I could just change the html code, then remember I did that so I don't use wizard edit on that form.
