Dynamic Dropdowns – Change Return value and get title for mail output

    I have been searching through all the threads and google, but cannot seem to find anything about changing or how to change the dynamic dropdown return value. (I apologize if this is a duplicate)

    Is it possible in the CF7 Mail section for me to add something to the dynamic dropdown shortcode that would allow me to return the post title instead of the value/slug so there are no lower case or dashes in the email subject or body?

    Probably something that would look like this in the mail body:

    Position Applying for: [job-dynamic-dropdown title] (or) [job-dynamic-dropdown value=title]

    you’re right, this is a problem… which is only cropping up now as you’re the first one to use the dynamic dropdown field in a mail. (i use mail very minimally).

    that would be one way to resolve this, but it would require quite a lot of extra work and possibly prone to errors if 2 posts have the same title (only slugs are guaranteed to be unique).

    so instead I have introduced a new filed filter in v2.9.0 which allows you to filter the mail tag value programmatically. You’ll need to fetch the post title as per the value submitted.

    Oh okay, I noticed you said v2.9.0 and the current version is v2.8.3 so I assume this is not something that I can take advantage of until the 2.9.0 release?
