confirmation message text

    Hi there,
    Is there a way to keep the confirmation message text (in the $form object) even if I choose a different confirmation option like redirect. In my case everytime I change to redirect my confirmation text is all gone. I would like it to still be there in case I switch back to a confirmation message.

    Vice versa it is the same. When I switch to confirmation message the query string inputs are gone. Is there a way to keep the query string inputs? Again in case I switch back, so I do not have to enter it all again.

  2. Hi Sascha,

    We really appreciate your feedback. :)

    The goal is to not store a lot of unneeded information in the form meta. A majority of users set the form confirmation settings and then never update them again so it would make sense not to store a set of data for each type of confirmation. If more users bring this up as an annoyance we will definitely reconsider how it is setup.

    Hi David,

    appreciate that. I would like to use the confirmation text in an email to the user (other topic you replied to), also if form is set to redirect. Of course there is a workaround, but using the confirmation text in my case would be so much easier. Could you tell me where in the GF code the form confirmation is handled and I might just alter that section for now, to keep the confirmation text. I know it is not recommended to hack your code....

  4. Hi Sascha,

    This would be located in the the form_detail.php and will likely require some edits to form_editor.js as well. Good luck! :)

    Hi David,
    thanks. 2 files!?! Hmmmm, might just wait for some other people to jump on the band waggon and request that feature! We'll see.
