Passing the value of a select field in a query string versus the label

  1. Hello, I'd like to pass the value of a select instead of the label. When I use check "Pass Field Data Via Query String" and then select the field in question, the label is sent. Can someone give me the syntax to specify the value? Any help is appreciated.

  2. Yes, by default the insert form field value drop down only passes the option label for drop down/radio button/multiple choice fields as typically this is the user friendly label that you would want users to see.

    But you can tell it to pass the value by appending :value to the form field value variable.

    So instead of something like this:

    {Field Name:1}

    You would do this:

    {Field Name:1:value}
