Instance name

  1. When creating forms In Adobe Flash you have the <Instance Name> value, what is the equivalent to that in Gravity Forms.
    I have a database that pulls in the inputs from the form fields, and I need to define each field.
    Ex. field Firstname - instance name ##firstname

  2. Each form input has a unique "name" that you can find by viewing the form markup.

    The names are dynamically generated by the form editor so you can't change them, but they are unique and should be what you're looking for.

  3. Is there absolutely no way of changing them ??
    I need every field to have a specific name.
    Ex; ##firtstname - ##address - ##email - this is the way the database reads the input, if you understand. I have no way of altering the database setup.

    ,thanks

  4. Nope. Sorry, but the name attribute it set and there's currently no provision to change or modify it.
