    Help! A string combine field is suddenly not working. Instead of properly displaying each participant’s last name followed by a comma and first name, the table is showing literally “[last_name], [first_name]”.

    Some of the older entries are displaying names properly. It seems to be the newer entries that aren’t working properly. (See link I provided.)

    I’m guessing this is some kind of bug relating to the recent plugin updates, but if there’s something on my end I can do please let me know.

    Your question is about the string combine field not getting filled when a signup form is submitted. The original post was that the template was getting displayed instead of the combined string.

    It is almost always best to start a new topic unless your problem is an exact match.

    So, on to your problem. The string combine field won’t get filled in in a signup form unless the string combine field is included in the form. If it is included in the form, it will be filled in, unless the submission does not contain all the fields needed to build the combined string. I just tested this, and it is working.

    So, you need to check to make sure the string combine field is included in the form. To do that, you need to look at the HTML source. You will see the string combine field as a hidden field in the form.

    If you don’t see it, check to make sure the configuration is set to include the field. If you’re using the “fields” attribute in the shortcode, it must include the string combine field.

    Also, any other fields that are included in the combined string must also be included in the signup form.

    Thank you – yes that works, except in the case where the combined string includes [id] or [private_id], which is perhaps not surprinsing. So, I think this is the end of this conversation.
    Thank you for your help

    Those fields won’t get filled in because they are not included in the form submission.
