Hi,
I have searched and read many posts and I am obviously missing something totally obvious. I have set up a form with dynamic dropdowns which on submission emails me the data. I had the form auto generate the template but still it emails me with values such as Select Group group_2
Home Team selection_2c etc
I will paste the debug below. I have xxxxx'd out the actual email addresses. Again apologies for being a little dumb.

Notice

Could not instantiate mail function.

I noticed in one of the threads that someone had Could not instantiate mail function and was advised to use greyheads email add on. So I installed that but same result. It is showing age_1 instead of year 11 etc. Debug from new attempt below

I have also noticed that the text input shows up fine. It is the dynamic drop downs I seem to have an issue with. They work fine on the site but are not emailing. I have rewatched the email tutorials just in case and re read the basics pdf on grey head site. It still appears I am missing something obvious. I have no issues if I remove the dynamic dropdowns so maybe I have missed something there? I have re read the tutorial on dynamic drop downs with out ajax and it all appears to be correct.

Hi triage,

The value of the drop-down will be the 'value' of the selected option and not the 'text' that is visible on screen. Is this the problem? If so then this FAQ should help.

Bob

Thank you very much. that was the FAQ I have been searching for🙂.

I fixed it by renaming all the values to = the text so that it was easier to understand. I did consider the custom code however with the around 50 different total options and with only a human reading the results I decided against it.

Thank you again
