Filled out fields aren’t populating to DB after Submit

All Topics → → Filled out fields aren’t populating to DB after Submit

Several of the fields in one of my forms aren’t populating in the DB upon submission (see attached screenshot).

Are the common reasons for this to happen that I may be unaware of?

Thanks.

There are a couple possibilities. Do you have conditional logic on those fields? Is this form set up to create posts? If so, can you attach a screenshot of your "create posts" settings tab?

Since posting my problem earlier today, I done the following...

Disabled plugins to see if there was a problem. Didn't fix it.

Created a new form to see if it would take all of fields and it still left off a few fields upon submitting, even in preview mode.

I'm running Version 1.06.05 in WordPress 3.4.2.

 

 

 

Stephanie,

Ok, so it does seem to be related to the fields that have conditional login attached to them. I deleted the logic for one of the fields and it populated just fine from the preview mode.

Attached is a screencapture of my conditional login settings. Are there certain traps I should be aware of? It appears that the problem is creeping up when I select the option of "anything"?

Thanks.

Yeah, since that isn't a data from entries field "anything" here actually means blank. So if that field is not blank, then the text field gets cleared.

Ok, here's what I was going for with that setting...

I wanted to "hide" a series of fields (name, email,date) until the user answered the data from entries field question. I don't want to use your page break option because of the design of my site so thought this could be accomplished through selecting "anything" in the logic. I know this approach stretches the intention of 'conditional logic' but thought it could solve my user/design challenge.

Any suggestions?

 

 

I think it would work to add a section heading before and after the set of fields you'd like to hide, and insert the conditional logic on the heading instead of each field. If you don't want the heading to show on the page, you can set the field label to hidden. Will that do the job?

Perfecto!

Just in case someone reads the full thread here, I did add a section heading and was able to apply the conditional logic with "anything" to achieve the design I was looking for.

Thanks.
