Hi,
How can you display a metadata field in the email that is sent via a custom form submission? I have tried "%metadata_field_title%", %asset_metadata_title%, both don't work? yes the metadata called "title" does contain a value.





Thanks

Metadata fields in a Custom Form?


You don't actually use metadata fields for these, instead you setup a series of "questions" all of which have their own keywords (i.e. %response_150_q1%).



What is it that you're trying to achieve?

The form appears at the bottom of a page that contains ref information about a file, I want to include both the response values from the form fields and metadata field values in the email.
e.g.



Title "Local authorities" - metadata_field

Location "Room 123" - metadata_field

Type "Book" - metadata_field

-------------------------------

Fill in form to send request:

Form:

Name: [ xxxx ]

Email: [ xxx@xx.com ]



[SEND]





When user clicks the send button an email should be sent that includes the values entered in the two form fields and location "Room 123" which is stored as a metadata field.





Thanks

You should be able to use the metadata fields to populate form values which should be passed through to the email. Maybe just styling the metadata as "headings" or information blocks for display on the form so they don't look like pre-populated form fields.
