    Thanks again for your input.

    It’s frustrating, Forminator comes very close to what I need to do, but it’s not quite there. For collecting information it’s very good, but I need something closer to a paper form, where I can view the answers but also the questions. I can’t really use the pdf option as that ships all the data from the form to a third party server, which has security concerns for me. So, back to the drawing board!

    Kind regards

    Hi, thanks for persevering with this.
    Basically I’v stuffed everything into the label. It doesn’t look pretty but at least the data is there.
    So now I’ve moved onto another problem. I’m trying to select which field to show to the user with conditional visibility logic. If I set workflow to display one field or another, it displays fine on the form but both fields get written to the submission. I’ve created a test form here https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1vt1v3j76p999onvm79im/forminator-test-form-form-export-1.txt?rlkey=24rs635ml5bjrx4b83lmx6ho4&st=coz2o9l0&dl=0

    On this form in the simplest case if you leave the answer to “Show fields?” as “No” then “Value is 10” and “Value is 20” are never diplayed to or accessed by the user but they are still written to the submission as blank responses.

    How do I stop that please?

    Thanks
    Peter

    Hi Saurabh,
    Thanks for your interest in this.
    Firstly, my wording wasn’t quite correct, I’m interested in forcing text onto the submission. Use of the word “response” in my last message wasn’t exactly correct, sorry about that.
    OK, here’s a scenario:
    The organisation that we are dealing with here is a registered charity in the UK. The form is a membership application to join that charity. One of the things we can do on the form is to have the user tell us they wish to allow us to reclaim the income tax they have paid on the membership fee from the UK Government. In order for us to do that we have to provide a particular form of words on the form which consists of several sentences. We may have to demonstrate to the tax authorites that the user has been shown those sentences.
    So, if I put a text field on the form which says something like:
    Government Blurb 1
    Government Blurb 2
    Government Blurb 3
    Government Blurb 4
    Followed by a checkbox with a label to say “I agree with the above”
    All that appears on the submission is “I agree with the above”. The text they are agreeing with isn’t there.
    So we can’t demonstrate to the tax authorities that we showed the user the text.
    Currently, as the checkbox label appears on the submissionI have to say something like “I agree to Government Blurb 1,Government Blurb 2,Government Blurb 3, Government Blurb 4” in the label, which looks a mess.
    Hence I would like a tidy way to force my “Government Blurbs” onto the submission.
    Kind regards

    Hello again Nithin,

    Thanks again for your work on this. I hadn’t noticed the consent field. I think I can live with using that. I would still like a way of forcing text onto the form response though. is there an official way I can make an improvement request for that?

    Kind regards
    Peter

    Thanks Nithin,
    Unfortunately that doesn’t quite hack it for me.
    To come back to my original issue, I have a text field with a short list of terms and conditions for club membership, followed by a Check box saying “I accept the above conditions”. The problem is that the list of conditions doesn’t make it onto the submission, but the checkbox does. So we can’t say “You accepted these term & conditions” to a member because we don’t have a record of what they were when the form was submitted.

    I was hoping therefore to have a multi-line label for the checkbox with the conditions listed in it, as the label does get written to the submission. I was only using the email address field as a demo as the field was uncomplicated by conditional displays etc.

    I see mentions in forums of custom css as a way of customising labels, is there a route for me there? Or perhaps some other way to get text on the submission?

    thanks

    Peter

    Thanks for your reply. I don’t think however that the pdf route will work for me. My form has all my member details, name , address etc so I wouldn’t be happy having to upload it to someone else’s server to get the pdf generated.

    I thought therefore I might try to list the conditions in the label field which does get stored with the “yes” or “No” response. However I can’t get multiline labels to work.
    To test this I created a simple form, name, address, email address. Using the email address as a test, I changed the label to “Email <br> Address”.
    On a preview the label looks exactly as I typed it, ie “Email <br> Address”.
    When I published the changes and then accessed the form via the web site the “<br>” had disappeared and the label read “Email Address”.
    The “<br>” had now also disappeared from the form editor and the label read “Email Address”.

    Aa I doing something wrong please?

    Thanks.
