It will work for {all_fields} (so, {all_fields<strong>:value</strong>} or any individual field. Just add <strong>:value</strong> to the merge tag as shown above.</p> <p>More documentation here:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Merge_Tags" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Merge_Tags</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save-radio-button-value-instead-of-label#post-85750 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:41:45 +0000 Chris Hajer 85750@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the update Mikko. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save-radio-button-value-instead-of-label#post-85286 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 16:08:59 +0000 mgorman03 85286@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Guys, </p> <p>I am running into the same issue here except I want the value emailed to the client.

I re-created the form and the value gets saved now instead of the label. </p> <p>I'm using WP Types plugin. I have custom fields set up with that. The custom fields have different friendly label than a numeric value that gets saved in to database. Now, to make the old data work, this form needs to work in similar fashion for heritage reasons, i.e. save a numeric value. And it does now.</p> <p>Cheers! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save-radio-button-value-instead-of-label#post-84595 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 03:44:25 +0000 Formmaker 84595@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I see the value is saved to my database - but I want to pass it to the notification and to paypal...The label is what appear on the views a customer sees - and i need to tailor that to make the purchase experince understandable....but I want the values for eveything else - </p> <p>please tell me that the values can be easily pulled with a simple <code>{variablelike this:???}</code></p> <p>I also want to customize the item line that paypal gets to include other variables entered during purchase - tell me this is possible to</p> <p>one problem please dont tell me have to create a plugin or write php - i cannot - this stuff should be simple - pulling essential data froma database without custom code....thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save-radio-button-value-instead-of-label#post-83740 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:55:41 +0000 David Smith 83740@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Mikko,</p> <p>I did quick test locally and the value was saved to the database for me and not the label which is the expected behavior when "Show values" has been enabled for a field.</p> <p>Where are you viewing the saved value? In a notification, the entry detail or the actual database? </p>
