There is no way in the admin to be able to set an alternate name to use for referencing the form fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/update-field-via-name#post-42817 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:25:16 +0000 anniengo 42817@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/update-field-via-name#post-42789 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:40:45 +0000 Carl Hancock 42789@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've forwarded this to one of our developers who will take a look and provide you with some guidance.
