Field ID Not Being Generated

    I'm creating a very long form but a field ID of one of the fields isn't being generated. It's a check box field populated by taxonomy. I've tried deleting the field and insert a new one, but that didn't work.

    Any suggestions?

    I'm not sure what you mean by field ID isn't being generated? Can you elaborate? All fields have an ID, it's a database identifier. How/where are you trying to use the field ID that you can't find it?

    I'm looking for the field ID number under the name of the form on the "Edit Forms" index page.

    When "IDs" link is clicked under the form name, a list of the field names and id is displayed - but the more recent form fields aren't being added to the list or IDs displayed. Also it doesn't display in the "Custom Field Name" dropdown of a post custom field.

    I'm not sure what you are talking about? I'm not aware of anywhere you can click on the ID and it will list all the field names and ID's. Are you running any 3rd party Gravity Forms Add-Ons? Because that isn't a built in feature of Gravity Forms. It sounds like you are running an Add-On of some sort, that isn't default behavior. You would need to check with the developer of that Add-On as that isn't something we created.

    Yes, you're right. The "IDs" feature is from one of these plugins.

    But the new fields still don't show up in the "Create Content Template" drop down of a custom field.

    If you are populating a checkbox dynamically using custom code, they aren't going to appear. Because they are only being populated on the front end of your site. The actual individual checkbox fields themselves don't really exist in the back end.

    The checkboxes are being populated through the "Choices" list.

    What i was hoping to do was use the standard checkbox field to populate a custom field since checkboxes aren't available - using the template function of the custom field to pull the results of the checkbox field.

    What i was able to do was use the individual "choices" of the checkbox field and populate the custom field by use of the template function - but it's a bit clunky.
