Pass the post title field to a custom field & more

  1. I've setup a form that collects payment from people for donations. Simply put, "Your Full Name" is the first field they fill out. This field is actually a "title" post field, so upon submission, they are added into a category of "donations" where each post title is the contributor's name. The titles are used for internal purposes.

    I'm setting up an RSS feed with custom fields that says "Thank you (name) for your donation!" However, the contributor can choose from radio buttons that say:

    Yes, you may use my full name
    No, but you can use my company's name
    No, I would like my name to remain anonymous for this contribution

    The result of this question will create a "Contributor" custom field. That way, when I build a loop of all of the contributors, it doesn't use the post title, but rather the contributor custom field so privacy is maintained.

    The problem is I have a merge tag called {Your Full Name:1}, which ideally would put the title (name of the person) into the Contributor custom field if they choose "yes" from the radio buttons. This field is not passing. In fact, it says "{Your Full Name:1}" when you look at the post after submitting it.

    What am I doing wrong here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
