Custom Field Adding Form Name

Hello,

I have a form that is creating a new post and publishing it and everything is working fine except...

I have a custom field that is a URL, when I go to the entries page in gravity forms the URL is entered correctly, but whenI go to the post that was created in the custom field the name of the form is appended to the beginning of the URL.

For example:
http://www.apple.com is submitted from a form named ABCForm
Under entries I correctly see http://www.apple.com
On the post page under custom fields I see ABCFormwww.apple.com

I am new to using custom fields, so I am sure there is probably something I am doing incorrectly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the quick reply. If I correct the entry on the post page it displays the URL correctly. Let me show you a screenshot of how the edit post page shows the entry, so you can better see what I mean:

Here is my entries page where the URL field is displayed correctly:
http://cl.ly/2e0N1E3v3R2Z0h3C060o

When I go to the edit post page for the above entry here is what the custom fields section looks like for the submitted post:
http://cl.ly/0k2u0D3E3V3l1G3k2e0d

If I correct the address the function I am using in my template to display the link works correctly, I just don't understand why it is adding the form name to the value.

I am baffled since the form seems to be collecting the information correctly.

Hi Chris,

I am not sure I completely understand the question.

I am using a gravity form to create a post with the custom field, most of the other fields are populated dynamically like the title, category and content and I have those fields hidden from the user by checking the admin only box under advanced settings for those fields. When I submit the form it creates a published post with all the correct data with the exception of this custom field which adds on the form name with no help from me as far as I can tell. The title of my form is 'Video Application' which is the text that is being added to the value.

Here are the basic settings for the form field:

And the advanced:

Here is a larger screenshot of the edit post page that is being created by the gravity forms:

Form Title
Video Application

The hidden fields all working correctly:
Post Title - Set to currently logged in user's name.
Post Category - Set to predefined category
Post Body - Set to publish the post with predefined text.

URL Field as custom field, collects data correctly, but for some reason when populating the custom form field section of the published post it passes on the Form Name along with the value of the URL field as seen in my previous screenshot.

Sorry if this is too much information or I misunderstood your question. I am not having any issues grabbing or displaying any of the data I am collecting, but for some reason the correct data isn't being passed to the post.

Thanks,
Lori
