But, as stated previously, you cannot change the name of the form fields in Gravity Forms. You can use the gform_after_submission hook to send whatever data you want to Salesforce, or you can use this 3rd party add-on for Salesforce/Gravity Forms integration:</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-salesforce/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-salesforce/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-name-of-field-name#post-102167 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:02:52 +0000 Nathanael 102167@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have the same issue. The salesforce web-to-lead plugin states:</p> <p>"You can find your Custom Fields under [Your Name] → Setup → Leads → Fields, then at the bottom of the page, there’s a list of "Lead Custom Fields &amp; Relationships". This is where you will find the "API Name" to use in the Admin Label or Parameter Name."</p> <p>Is this entirely wrong? I am unable to have a custom response sent to salesforce due to this issue. Is there a workaround for this issue? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-name-of-field-name#post-97335 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:11:12 +0000 David Peralty 97335@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms requires unique names to work, and allowing developers to potentially name two fields the same would break too many things. This was the best system we could think of. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-name-of-field-name#post-97084 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:38:15 +0000 plumwd 97084@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is really quite disappointing. Developers need more control at times, and this is highly restrictive.

They are automatically generated to make sure that our forms work correctly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-name-of-field-name#post-91359 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 04:59:05 +0000 carasegers 91359@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi<br /> This will help me as well as I have a requirement in order to have custom field names for hidden items in order to interface through to moneybooker.<br /> Regards<br /> Cara </p>
