Problem with "Dropdown" and value in my email

jhautier 20 Apr, 2014
Hi,

I have a problem with "dropdown" when I receive an email.

I wich to have the real value in my email and NOT the number of the value...

For exemple:

In my Form, I have a Dropdown "TITLE" with:
0=Mister
1=Madame

In "Basic Action Setings", I have:
TITTLE: {dropdown23}

When I receive an email I have in my email:
TITLE: "0"

But I would like in my email "TITLE: "Mister" (and not the value "0")

Is it possible ?

Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english (I am french) ;-)

Best regards,

Jérôme

Hello,

Thanks for your response ;-)
I think that my "problem" is very simple...: In the email I receive after a "submit button", I wich to have the real value (Ex: Miami, London, Paris...) and not the code (0, 1, 2, 3), where:

0=Miami
1=London
2=Paris...

I just have the problem with Dropdown, Radio Box.., but not off course with text and area box ;-)

Maybe I have to change and the email form the value (Example: {dropdown23}) ?

But I don't know how :-(

Best regards,

Jerome

Hi Jerome,

Maybe you can just change the value in the dropdown settings itself ? why do you use a number ?

Just use:

Paris=Paris
London=London
Miami=Miami

Hi I am doing it this way in my form dropdown value.

A=A
B=B
C=C
D=D
E=E
F=F

On the admin email

<option value="A">A</option>
<option value="B">B</option>
<option value="C">C</option>
<option value="D">D</option>
<option value="E">E</option>
<option value="F">F</option>

however in the email the selection of "A" is displayed as 01 : 123- 01


My form is like this:
Block: {text input} - {dropdown}

Am I missing any steps?
