The notification email sent to myself also includes the field value when using the merge tag in the body of the email. </p> <p>However, when I include the same merge code in the Confirmation Email body, it just displays the merge tag ({element_8}) and not the field value. Is this by design or is there a way I can work around it? Much thanks! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/add-a-submit-code-or-ticket-number-to-submission-confirmation-page#post-24882 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 02:34:14 +0000 pkirill 24882@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thank you so much! I also just discovered the Merge Tags and have been experimenting with them as well. You solution will work perfectly for what I need. Thank you again! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/add-a-submit-code-or-ticket-number-to-submission-confirmation-page#post-24878 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 11:25:03 +0000 yuniar 24878@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>If you're using v4.7 already, there is an option to generate random code as default value for Single Line Text field:<br /> <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/blog-machform47-released" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/blog-machform47-released</a></p> <p>I suppose you can simply add that field, set the random code option and set the field as hidden.</p> <p>You can then display the random code on the submission confirmation page by using the merge tag of your text field. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/add-a-submit-code-or-ticket-number-to-submission-confirmation-page#post-24860 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 09:52:22 +0000 pkirill 24860@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>So I was just wondering if anyone had come up with a way to put a unique code or ticket number on the submission confirmation page? I have been handed the task of creating a form for a raffle entry. Each submission earns a ticket - or a code - and anyone can submit as often as they like so no crazy logic required. Before I dive in, I thought I'd ask here. Thanks for any ideas! </p>
