See this screenshot:</p> <p><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/185347/Slingshot/Pictures/Screen%20Shot%202012-03-14%20at%205.32.55%20PM.png" rel="nofollow">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/185347/Slingshot/Pictures/Screen%20Shot%202012-03-14%20at%205.32.55%20PM.png</a></p> <p>That screenshot shows the query string parameters, values and the fields being pre-populated with those values. The field is required and if I clear the values and try to submit it, it triggers required field validation. See this screenshot:</p> <p><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/185347/Slingshot/Pictures/Screen%20Shot%202012-03-14%20at%205.33.33%20PM.png" rel="nofollow">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/185347/Slingshot/Pictures/Screen%20Shot%202012-03-14%20at%205.33.33%20PM.png</a></p> <p>The first thing to do is make sure the parameters you configure are all lowercase and that you are passing the parameter names as lower case in the query string. In the URL you provided, you aren't passing any query string parameters so nothing would be pre-populated.</p> <p>Test to see if you can recreate a form like I have above and if it works.</p> <p>If you still have an issue, send me the following:</p> <p>- URL of the page containing the form with the correct query string parameters being passed<br /> - WordPress admin login for the site</p> <p>You can send this information to me at <a href="mailto:carl@rocketgenius.com">carl@rocketgenius.com</a>.

Specifically the name (normal format) field. Strangely enough the form will take the email value from the string?</p> <p>I have tried deleting the field and adding a new one for a new ID key, as well as changing the field parameter.. nothing seems to be working. Also, it is a required field but the form is taking submissions with empty vlaues?? I realy need your expertise here, Thanks.</p> <p><a href="http://alphainvestments-ct.com/investors/investor-account" rel="nofollow">http://alphainvestments-ct.com/investors/investor-account</a> </p>
