 * Hi Jules,
 * Iam still working on the same form and I’ve faced another problem.
 * I am using the conditional fields for diffrent properties. I managed that the
   correct form for the selected property being sent via email. 2 Problems:
    1. I cannot make required conditional fields for my diffrent properties.
    2. bigger problem, in the type=”select” fields (30 fields) it contains “placeholder”
       fields, which are submitted by email when the customer dont choose any selection
       and leaves the “placeholder” fields. I want to achieve that when the customer
       dont choose any field and leaves the “placeholder”-field > it shouldnt not transmitted
       via email.
 * these 2 problems run into each other. I know problem number second isn’t really
   based on your plugin, but sadly I dont get any answers from the cf7-support team.
   Hope you can help me with that
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fselected-conditional-fields-email%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Both problems should be easy to solve. Can you set up your form at [https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/](https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/)
   and share the link here?
 * Problem 1 has likely something to do with the fact that [all field names should be unique](https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/docs/troubleshooting/all-field-names-should-be-unique/).
 * Problem 2 can probably be solved by adding `first_as_label` to your select element.(

 * Of course, there you go: [http://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/?hash=598bbd243aa15f0401ff56b528409bc4](http://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/?hash=598bbd243aa15f0401ff56b528409bc4)
 * It tried to add first_as_label, but didnt work out as I aspected.

 * I see you are using the plugin Ultimate Addons for CF7.
 * This plugin tries to solve the exact same problems as Conditional Fields (Pro)
   tries to solve. But because they overlap so greatly, it’s impossible to make 
   them compatible. You will have to choose to either go with Conditional Fields
   or with Ultimate Addons for CF7, but you can’t use both.
 * Just like you cannot create a website with both WordPress AND Joomla, you cannot
   create a form with both Ultimate Addons for CF7 and Conditional Fields. Even 
   if you manage to make it work now, it will break with almost every update.

 * okay I understand. I would like to go with conditional fields,
 * How can I solve the named problem? Because even when I deactivate the plugin 
   the problems consists.
 * Thank you!

 * Alright. I took the liberty to remove all the uacf7 stuff from your form.
   You
   are using some invalid code though. I tried to fix the most obvious errors.
 * Code like this is not valid:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [select my-select placeholder "one" "two" "three"]
       [text my-text placeholder "hi" "hey"]
       ```
   
 * So I corrected most of it to:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [select my-select first_as_label "one" "two" "three"]
       [text my-text placeholder "hi"]
       ```
   
 * Here’s the fixed form: [https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/?hash=cabde399646cf54bf0174287cc590c1a](https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/?hash=cabde399646cf54bf0174287cc590c1a)
 * However, to get a good understanding of your errors, it might be better to make
   this form a lot more simple, so it’s easier to point out where and why you are
   using incorrect patterns.
