I made the title field visible only to admin and set the default value to the names of my fields like so:</p> <p>{Name:29}{Academy Class Year:32:value}{Women\'s College Class Year:30:value}{Online College Class Year:33:value}{Evening/Weekend College Class Year:31:value}</p> <p>I have ':value' set because those fields are dropdowns where the user sees the year, but it outputs ', WC'06' for Women's College 2006.</p> <p>The result a custom post with a title like "Jane Doe, A '02, WC '02" where name was "Jane Doe", Academy Class Year was 2002 and Women's College Class Year was 2006.</p> <p>I hope that helps. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/merge-tags-in-post-field#post-287016 Wed, 29 May 2013 15:18:26 +0000 Eagerbob 287016@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello all,</p> <p>I am using GF to create a CPT. In order to make this work the first field in my form is the Post Field "title". The contents of this field become the title of the created CPT.<br /> The fields in the CPT are all custom fields.<br /> This works well.</p> <p>In my form I have a field name and a field surname.<br /> I want the title of the CPT to be "Name Surname"<br /> I tried using merge tags like so: <code>{custom_field:name} {custom_field:surname}</code> but this does not work, the post ends up as untitled.<br /> Some merge tags like {user_agent}{date_mdy}{embed_url} work, others, like {custom_field:[name]} do not work.</p> <p>Could I make this work and how?</p> <p>Thank you</p> <p>test is here: <a href="http://www.apecool.com/zaza/subscribe/" rel="nofollow">http://www.apecool.com/zaza/subscribe/</a> </p>
