Hi,

I setup a 2-part form. The first form contains only name and email. The second part is the rest of the information. After the user fills out the 1st part, an email is sent to the admin so that if the user decides to abandon the form, at least we have some contact information to follow-up with that user.

After the user fills out both parts of the form, the admin receives all the user-submitted information (including name and email from the 1st form), and the user receives and Auto-Confirmation.

The problem I'm running into is when I try to use a variable from the first form, it does not show up in the email. In the first part, there is a field called "First Name". I used the placeholder {First Name} in the Auto-Confirmation and the resulting email is {First Name}, not the field value that was entered.

Is there something I may be doing wrong or a limitation of the plugin? I'm using version 10.0.

Thanks!
Admin

this came up before and is documented on your cforms help page.

to reference {var} in the context of the final form differs, you need to add the form ID as a prefix e.g. {cf_form_var} or {cf_form2_var}

PS: you may want to upgrade to 10.1, it addresses a few MP feature issues
