Merge tag label not working

  1. Just bought GF and I'm trying to create a form to set pricing based on quantity. Will post elsewhere making a feature request here, but for the moment it looks like an extensive work-around is required.

    I can't seem to get merge fields to display correctly. I've set up a dropdown field with a list of quantities, enabled values and entered prices as values. I then set up a product field with calculated price using this formula:
    {Quantity:9} * {Quantity:9:value}

    What happens is that both merge fields return the value instead of the first returning the label and the second the value. So if the quantity is 100 and the value for 100 is 8, then I'm getting a price of $64 instead of $800.

    As an added oddity, this continues to happen even when I disable values in the quantity dropdown.

    (Just as an aside, I'm confused by your documentation for the merge fields, since at several points it refers to the "field name." I have been assuming that this is supposed to be the field label, since I can't find anything in the form builder called a field name.)

  2. Do you have a link to your form so I can visually see this and what you are trying to accomplish.

  3. The form is on a local server while I test it out. Here are screenshots of the fields and preview.

    The number field is just so that I can see what value is being returned.

  4. I've installed the plug-in on my live site. Here is the form I am testing:

  5. I bought this product in spite of the fact that no one ever answered my pre-sales inquiry because it has great reviews and people seem to be very happy with the support. So far, however, I'm not very impressed with the support...

  6. Can you export your form and send me the XML file to rob@rocketgenius.com so I can look at it. Please reference this post in your email.

    Gravity Forms might not be setup to operate how you are trying to use it, but we'll see if we can figure something out.
