 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to create a post that has some custom fields, but Forminator cannot
   populate the values for me. Please refer to the linked image. I can’t figure 
   out why this is happening but it appears all the values are not showing, even
   on the settings page. Could you provide the list of values for me please? Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmissing-values-for-custom-fields%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@bygchyll](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bygchyll/)
 * I hope you’re well today!
 * I’m not exactly sure what do you want to achieve here – are you actually trying
   to fetch values of some existing custom fields into that Forminator form? If 
   yes – that’s not possible and not how this feature works.
 * The “Custom fields” section of “Postdata” field allows you set/add values TO 
   custom fields when creating the post.
 * So first, you need to put fields names into “Label” there (this can be existing
   custom field or non-existing in which case it will be just created) and then
 * – either you can put some “fixed” value in “Value” there
    – or, if you want user
   to be able to fill it in, you need to add additional fields to the form and “
   map” them there.
 * Let me give you an example.
 * Let’s say you want users to fill in the form to create a post and you want them
   to provide copmany name which will be added to the custom field named “company”
   in the post.
 * You would need to do this as follows:
 * – first, add a text field to the form (you can label it anyway you want just 
   so make it clear to user that you want them to enter company name there)
 * – second in “Custom fields” in postdata set “company” (field name) as label
    –
   then click on a + icon and select your text field from the list
 * This way the text field will be mapped to custom field so user will see text 
   field on form, enter the company name there and form will then take this value
   and save it as value of the custom field named “company” with the post.
 * Kind regards,
    Adam
