Everything worked as expected. You can recreate what i've done by previewing the Test Post Form I created and then submitting your own test and seeing the Post that it creates afterwards.</p> <p>Here is the Test Form I submitted:<br /> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/Q9bdB.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/Q9bdB.png</a></p> <p>Here is the Entry that was created:<br /> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/lnRXm.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/lnRXm.png</a></p> <p>Here is the Post that was created:<br /> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/WxoJf.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/WxoJf.png</a></p> <p>You'll see in the post that the Post Title used our Content Template to include the value of our custom field that is on the form, which I submitted a value of "CustomFieldValue". You'll also see that Custom Field listed in the Custom Field UI in that screenshot using the Name of "customfieldname" and a value of "CustomFieldValue" exactly as it is configured to do.</p> <p>So custom fields are being created properly by Gravity Forms, with or without the content template.</p> <p>I was able to recreate the issue you reported with the Testimonial form. Because it is being created using the 3rd party Gravity Forms Custom Post Type Add-On the issue is most likely related to the use of that Add-On, because that is the difference between your form and the test form I created that is working fine.</p> <p>I know a lot of users use that plugin and I haven't seen anyone else report this issue, so i'm not sure if it's a bug with the version of the Custom Post Type Add-On you are using or some sort of conflict. But it's specific to using that Add-On. You are going to need to get in touch with the developer of the Gravity Forms Custom Post Type Add-On.</p> <p>Get in touch with him and explain that custom fields aren't being saved when you implement a content template on the Post Title field. It's probably a bug related to how he's creating the custom post type information. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-template-conflict#post-29886 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 10:59:44 +0000 webpuzzlemaster 29886@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>email sent.. via jla***** at Gmail dot com </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-template-conflict#post-29813 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:59:51 +0000 Carl Hancock 29813@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Without being able to see your form and see you how you have it setup, I can't answer that question.</p> <p>I'm able to create custom fields just fine with or without a content template configured for any of my Post Fields, so the functionality works but I can't take into account how you have configured everything.</p> <p>If you send me a WordPress admin login for the site having the problem along with a full explanation of what form, which field, which custom field, etc. I can take a look.

However, if you don't use the correct Custom Field Name that Verve Meta Boxes is using then your custom field data may not populate the Verve Meta Boxes properly. You would have to know the actual custom field key that Verve Meta Boxes is using for each field, which may not be readily apparent. I'm not familiar with Verve. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-template-conflict#post-29780 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 10:42:32 +0000 webpuzzlemaster 29780@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using Verve Meta Boxes to define custom fields for different post types, maybe its the issue? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-template-conflict#post-29779 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 10:32:21 +0000 webpuzzlemaster 29779@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think I configure the custom field name.. because, if I don't use content template, the custom field value is being saved. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/content-template-conflict#post-29691 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:38:25 +0000 Carl Hancock 29691@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm unable to reproduce this locally in a variety of configurations which means it looks like it's how you are configuring the fields.</p> <p>Here is my Post Title field with a Content Template configured properly:<br /> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/vLcc8.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/vLcc8.png</a></p> <p>Here is my Custom Field with the custom field name configured properly:<br /> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/Kr4cM.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/Kr4cM.png</a></p> <p>Here is the resulting post that is created:<br /> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/O6Jwi.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/O6Jwi.png</a></p> <p>Notice that the Content Template worked fine, I added the value of a Name field to the Post Title as part of the Title and the Custom Field stored correctly also.</p> <p>If you haven't configured the Custom Field Name for your Custom Field the value won't be stored as a Custom Field, it has to have Name.
