Field Group – last field not saved for future call-backs in form

Hi,

I am using a group field (repeater field) where the user can input various data types collected by their IoT device (one data type per field).

Later in the same form, I am trying to callback to the user’s input in that group field using the HTML widget and {} macros.

However, I have noticed that in the callback, the input in the very last field is not properly displayed. This can be solved by having the user click on the “add field” and leaving the new field blank but this is not an ideal UI.

e.g:

Repeater field one: email – Repeater field two: name – Repeater field three: phone number

In the callback, only email and name are shown and phone number is not.

I look forward to receiving your advice on this issue.

Kind regards, Clea

Hi @clearoz,

Could we know if its possible to share the page URL where you have the form and how you are implementing the callback so that we could have a better idea?

If you could also share the form export it would be helpful. Please check the following doc on how to export a form:

https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export

If you are concerned about any sensitive information in the form, then you can duplicate your form, remove any sensitive information, and then export it.

You can share the export file via Google Drive, Dropbox or any cloud service in the next reply.

Looking forward to your response.

Best Regards,

Nithin

Hi Nithin,

Please find the link to the form here: https://www.i46.cz/risk-assessment/

As the form is still being created, I would suggest that you do the following to replicate my issue:
– select hardware components in the first section
– then skip to “Hardware: Data Collection” selection where you should select at least one data type (e.g: Non-sensitive system data),
– in the following section, input at least two answers in the repeater field (e.g: “temperature” in the first field and “device uptime” in the second field – do NOT click on “add field” after “device uptime”) and then go to the next section.
– in the next section select “Data breaches (e.g: due to physical theft of the hardware product)” which reveals four new widgets,
– scroll to the last one ” Input in the field below the data most vulnerable to data breaches at the hardware level. For reminder, you had selected that your hardware collects the following types of data: temperature,,,,” <— here device uptime should be displayed but is not. This is the issue I am having.

You can access the form export here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O-DY0pz-eFb49i0POyEj08zalG7W-NkX/view?usp=sharing

Thank you.

Hi @clearoz

Thank you for the detailed steps,

This is an expected behaviour, we will only support calculation for the repeater where you can use calc-ID-* https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#wildcard-merge-tags but unfortunately for the regular text field or {group-ID} it won’t work.

We do have plans to improve it but we don’t have an estimated time.

It would require custom coding to fetch the content dynamically but For that, you’ll need to hire a developer to provide the required custom code for you. WordPress provides a jobs directory here https://jobs.wordpress.net/, if you need further advice about it, feel free to email wpsupport@incsub.com.
